Windows 7 don't "page things just because it wants to, even if there are tons of RAM available". W7 will use the HD to store data not used, not CloD Launcher.exe... And will not page like crazy when flying... W7 recognizes when a priority application will need lots of RAM (like CLoD) and will free memory to it, if isn't so much available.

No effect at all in gaming, except placebo effect and possible system instability. I tested in all games - included CloD: same performance with/without page file. The only thing that become faster is cycle between aplications... If some like to alt+tab like crazy, it's good to disable the infamous virtual memory

And with only 4GB of RAM CloD can't run without virtual memory in W7 if you load missions with lots of things. W7 is very good managing physical memory when it's needed regards performance: if you have lots of RAM to run CloD, W7 will use all it. And if you don't have, W7 will "clean it up" and will let you use the amount available to run it.

Don't blame virtual memory for microstutters.
