I read somewhere that your swap space should be double your RAM up to 512MB, but I can't remember if that meant up to 512MB of RAM or 512MB of swap. Basically, I acquired a twin processor PII-400 system with only one processor and a single 128MB stick of RAM (but 4 slots available). I have since added a second processor (and new heat sinks with fans) and filled all four slots with 128MB sticks of ECC RAM (yes the BIOS supports ECC, isn't that cool). Yes, this is probably overkill for a simple Linux desktop, but hey, it just seems cool. But back to my original question. I'm thinking a Gig of swap is way overkill. I was thinking 768MB max.
