The swap partition is hard disk space used by the kernel to make the RAM seem larger. Pages (data) that are not needed in the present are moved to the swap partition where access is slower, but they are still readily available. It's necessary for Linux to run at its best. Dual boot has nothing to do with it. Use a partition equal in size to your RAM if you don't have a better idea. (some of which will no doubt appear soon) Bruce+
