That's another big question of mine... let's say a system with 3GB of DDR2-667 RAM, even some DDR-400, why would someone need a swap partition, considering that the normal use doesn't fill up the RAM? I've looked into this and found no definitive answer, some people say you need swap, some say you don't.
