SWAP memory concept came , when RAM was expensive and RAM used was less . it uses hardisk space as SWAP . I have a system with 4GB ram , but I choose to use 1GB swap only . While installing I also had this doubts . I took advice from other guys . They asked me to have 4GB . They explained some logic stating that more swap does not optimise your system my system with 1GB or swap is working fine , I have 2-3 virtual machine running

To: ilug-tvm@googlegroups.com Date: Thursday, 17 June, 2010, 2:39 PM hi, on googling, it says convention is to provide double the size of RAM for SWAP. Does this apply for newer systems? Should I use a swap of 8GB for a 4GB RAM system.how much would be optimal? -- #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication" Leonardo da Vinci #//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////# -- "Freedom is the only law".
