WHats your Swap Size?

(1/6) > >>

Bazoukas:
Just curious. I have 256DDR and just for the hell of it I have my swap at 1999. It wouldnt go pass 2048.

slave:
I have 512 MB DDR and RHL 8 auto set my swap partition to 1024 MB.  It never uses any of it though  

RudeCat7:
Somewhat related topic:

In theory, aren't you supposed to keep your swap relatively small, about the same size as your ram?
This forces the ram to be used more effectively, right? Or else the swap would be used more than the ram, which slows things down...

In theory, wouldn't it be better to get a lot of ram and get rid of the swap?

  :confused:

Bazoukas:
From what I know, you are correct.

 I know a dude that doesnt have any Swap at all. Then again he has from i can remember one Gig of RAM.

TheQuirk:
My usual swap is RAM*2+50.
