XP SUCKS

[iam99x]

I actually went back to Vista after using Win 7. I really didnt see much difference other than the redone GUI.

my vista x64 install has been running rock solid stable and smooth on my moms old school Athlon x2 for the last year and a half.

Only thing I have noticed Win7 does faster and better is large file transfers between harddrives and partitions.

That's because Vista is a major resource hog. I can't imagine why you would go back to a slower OS.

actually, i got pissed off just turned the page file off.
the pages/sec counter is something else.
something like when a process calls something from cache.. or something.
the counter includes more than just page faults, but it does include them.

That's probably your problem. You can let Windows manage your page file (as SmackedInATL said), or you can set it to 2048 minimum and 2048 maximum that way you always have 2GB of your HD used for page filing. Try it out and see if it works.
