Interesting but not 100% correct.

For example, if you use Superspeed Ramdisk then XP 32 can benefit from more than 3G of RAM and thus a page file on the ramdisk will operate outside of the 3G limit nullifying the argument.

Well, if you've got enough memory, like 3gb+, you can just disable the pagefile altogether. Putting on the RAMdisk is silly.
