Paging File recommendation

What paging file would you recommend for:
32 x CPU
32 GIG RAM
Many DB using many tera's
Windows2003
SQL Server 2000
I know a little about paging and that SQL is intelligent enough to
prevent swapping. But I'd still like to tune the OS to rule out future
performance issues.Thanks John, we are soon to be STRESS testing our new servers, so will
definately be monitoring the resources side of things for bottlenecks.
Thanks once again. Greg
