Theoretically, yes. Practically, even if the virtual memory usage algorithms are improved compared with Vista or older Windows versions, Windows 7 is still paging things just because it wants to, even if there are tons of RAM available.
I have the paging file disabled for more than 3 months already, and I had no problem whatsoever with it (and this while playing very demanding games, like Metro 2033, or IL2 CoD and so on).
Beside disabling the paging file, I've also set IL2 to start with administrative rights, fullscreen, and disabled the Vsync, visual themes and desktop composition. And the Windows indexing service.
And I have no microstutters at all, while all the others are complaining about them.
