Hi,

I am going to be reinstalling again, but since our last install, we updated our
system with a new motherboard, chipset to 450/100MHZ, and doubled our RAM from
128 to 256.  Can we make one swap partition size of 256 or do we have to make 2
partitions of 128MG each?

What is the max swap file size, or is there no limit(based on your ram)
I to have 256 and ran two 128's
It works but if I don't need it I would rather stick with one swap file
