Almost every machine has some mostly dormant server processes which can be paged out (for example sshd's on web-servers). Sticking so much memory into a machine that nothing at all will be paged out although there are lots of processes which are idle for long amounts of time is really a waste of money. Paging is a good thing. :) -- Regards, Michael Nottebrock
