Yes, the poorly written application that is causing pagefaults when there is available ram is....WorldofWarcraft..dun dun dun
Could I ask how you're determining that there's available RAM? What number exactly on Task Manager or whatever are you using to measure that?

The reason I ask is that the memory numbers on Task Manager and Resource Manager are labeled in a very misleading way. [Edit: I should have said some of the numbers.] For example, the "Page File" number is actually the Commit Charge, not the amount of Page File used, and Commit Charge includes both physical RAM and Page File use. Etc.

Maybe it's just my dated hardware, but when I disable pagefile, I get out of memory bluescreens after booting, nevermind actually running anything. With my budget, I'll be using this machine at least another year, so no experimenting for me.
Well that shows you don't have enough RAM in the machine even to boot. This makes me very doubtful that you have any free RAM in the machine while playing WoW. Almost certainly your machine needs to page constantly no matter what you're doing because you have less RAM than the minimum used by the machine.
