I guarantee you some software particulary games, audio editors, image editors etc won't work at all if you disable your swap file, let windows xp manage it. it does a lot better job than previous versions, also it'll make your system faster since accessing the pagefile is faster than reloading the dll or whatever from disk. on top of that you'll be limiting your maxium memory available to your physical ram size, which means less cache
