Actually, that's not really true. If you put the pagefile on its own partition,
only that partition will become fragmented as the file is being thrashed. Even
with tons of memory, you're going to have some page file usage unless you turn it
off.
However, the best way to optimize the performance of your system in terms of virtual
memory is to set the initial size the same as the final size. This keeps the file
from being grown as needed.
Also, those who run with no virtual memory are crazy. Virtual memory is a safety
net. If you have a leaky app or a resource hogging app running on your system your
machine will BSOD as soon as physical memory is eaten up.
