I have a legacy windows 2003 R2 32 bit system (client) which has been migrated to a very large vmware 64 bit host (host) with massive ram.

Can the host be configured with a disk in ram that can be used as a page file by the client such that paging is actually to ram.

IT manages the host and I need to provide guidance (key words, links, references) to facilitate the solution if possible.

Windows still likes to place the page file on the drive where the OS itself is installed i.e. the C:\ drive. So , it is better to put the complete VMWare VMDK file itself on the ramdisk on the host. This will make your client even more performant. Example for Hyper-V :
