with 2GB of memory, you shouldn't ever need a pagefile. i would turn it off or set it manually to custom min=0, max=0 and be done with it. it should be fine unless you get a BSOD regarding virtual memory. IF that ever happen, set pagefile min and max sizes to the same size (whatever winblows recommends), on a separate DISK from the OS. that way, when windows reads/writes to it, you have one disk reading while the other writes instead of one disk doing both.
