Vista Swap File?

I have 4GB of memory. I can run all Linux versions with a swap file - in
fact its faster since no hard disk activity is needed.

I have an AMD64 3700 processor as well. I dual boot Vista and XP Pro x64
(Linux distros are a different story - which I won't get into in this post).

I find that I cannot change the swap file size (or for that matter the
location of the swap file) in Vista 64 bit RC2. Is there any way to
eliminate the swap file - I don't think I need it and it will save wear on
my hard drives. If there is no way in RC2 to get around the 4GB swap file
(Windows set size) will that be an option in Vista RTM in January? This
will have a great deal as to whether I shell out.

Is it because of the Ultimate Edition? Obviously I won't be getting that.
In fact messing with Media Center was the only time I blue/black screened.
