I don't think the 'rule' of swap being 2xRAM is necessary anymore.
I have 256 MB RAM, and 133 MB swap, and hardly use the swap at all 
(currently using about 712 KB of swap). My system can have up to
1 GB of RAM.  I hardly think with that much physical memory, that
2 GB swap disk will be necessary.

Even with 64MB RAM, and if you're not doing heavy development, 128 MB
swap is probably overkill.
