Running Windows XP on a machine with 1 GB of RAM and disabled the page file.
Figure I have enough memory to do without a page file.
The most memory "intensive" program I run would be Photoshop, and the files aren't even that big.

So far so good ;)

Some programs need a swap file, no matter if you have 10gb of RAM. These threads come up all the time, and the general thought is to leave it enabled, as it will use it as/when it is necessary, and as I said, some programs REQUIRE a swap file.
