I use an app called "Tweak XP Pro", it's a free version that came with a magazine, this has an excellent memory optimizer, I bring up the task manager before running this and you can see during optimizing the processors memory usage dropping to free up hundreds of megs, great app!!
Task manager shows the same quantity of active running processes before/after gameplay. I'ts just that PF usage after the game increased.
Just set the page file to a fixed size. That ought to do it.
Depending on who you ask, the size should be around 1.5 times up to 3 times your RAM.
Mine is set to 1x RAM size. 4GB should be enough in most cases.
