> I know the truth is somewhere in the middle

Don't disable the page file, if you have 32GiB RAM, it's usage will generally be low unless you're doing something 'heavy', at which point if you're regularly doing that, add more RAM. Some applications absolutely require a page file and will not function without one (Adobe Photoshop is or was one of them).

The truth is not in the "middle". The truth is you should ignore people who peddle uninformed advice on the Internet about how to "optimize" your computer when they themselves don't understand the NTVMM.
