I am having 8 node SQL 2005 cluster on Windows 2003 Ent 64 bit with 64 Gb of RAM.

I want to get rid of page file. Can I live without page file? if no, what is the minimum possible size I can keep in this scenario?

Please advice.

thanks,
Vijay

No you can not live without the page file.
Do you understand that paging is part of the system design? It prevents crashing and is used to utilize ram to the best it can be.

Here are some guidelines according to MS
