Paging File is almost useless if you have sufficient amount of ram installed... But if your ram is very low, then paging file is a blessing for you... Whenever the ram runs out of spaces, paging file works as a spare ram and shares data with the system memory.... But, you have to compromise with the speed coz R/W is much slower in HD.... * +

Try running Dawn of War 2 without a pagefile. There are other games that are just as recent that need the pagefile too. Plus disabling the pagefile wont give you any real benefits anyway. * +

Play a game hell, you can't even defrag without a page file. Well, you definetly cannot defrag quickly anyway. * +

Yes, except some games, softwares like Photoshop will show errors without page file... There's no point deleting it... Just leave the max-min size setting to system defaults and you are done... * +

photoshop shows a warning as far as i heard and i can defrag just fine and fast,using defraggler anyway. haven't played dawn of war but my guess is any application that requests a page file regardless of the amount of ram availible is a badly coded application. the only reason i find pagefile may be needed is if some applications enforce it without a valid reason. for the benefits,for starters i regain some disk space and leave the obsolete feature behind. * +

if some application does blindly enforce it,no problem,i'll switch to another. seriously,i have a lot of cr*p to take from windows and most of it comes in the category leave it as is 
but. its a matter of choice of course. as for me,i am a minimalist. if a feature has insufficient benefit threshold it gets removed or replaced. what doesn't help,always definently hurts,more or less. *
