I read conflicting reports about whether it is safe or a good idea or a bad idea to delete/turn off the pagefile.sys file. Some have claimed that if you have enough RAM (I have 4 GB in a Vista system) to go ahead and get rid of it, others say it will cause instability and lockups.

What is the consensus here? My pagefile.sys file is 3.29 GB on an 80 GB drive.
