    Wipe, reinstall advice

    it's time(past time really) to wipe and reinstall. my oem XP PRO 32bit is SP2. can i get an iso of XP PRO SP3 that will activate/validate with my product key? i can't find one on MS. have read guide on slipstreaming, and it looks like so much work. a ready made iso would be so much easier

    How small should i make pagefile?

    i'm using a 60gb ssd for system drive. windows 7 used about 27gb(nearly half)alone. i eliminated hiberfil.sys saving 6gb! but since i have 8gigs in this 64 bit system the pagefile is also 8 gigs. that's a lot of space on my precious(expensive) ssd. with that much ram can i safely make it smaller?
