I've always followed by 1.5.. dosn't make much difference either way. At this point, it's almost more cost-effective to gain back that gig of storage and put in another 512M of ram! I have a hard time believing that 1 gig of swap is effective in any way shape or form, I will never have a swap partition greater than 256M. >Oh, and if you work here, 512mb isn't enough. You run out quick. :) What the hell are you guys doing that's killing 512M on a workstation?? I can open vmware w/ 128 of my 384 dedicated to it, and still play quake w/ minimal swap activity.
