Can I disable pagefile if I have 16 GB of memory?

Can I disable pagefile if I have 16 GB of memory?

I was wondering :
One of the reason for having a page file is because each process (under 32bit) has 2 gb of address access ( or he thinks he has) -- which is obviously can't be done all in RAM.
and so , the OP part here is to dump irrelevant/less accessed pages into the HDD.
But what if I have 16/32 gb of ram ?
(My main work is programming with visual studio and some chrome browsing)
Does disabling the Page file would improve performance ?
