Almost every machine has some mostly dormant server processes which can be 
paged out (for example sshd's on web-servers).

Sticking so much memory into a machine that nothing at all will be paged out 
although there are lots of processes which are idle for long amounts of time 
is really a waste of money. Paging is a good thing. :)
