I'm tempted to, with my next machine, go with 1 GB - 1.5 GB of memory,
and avoid a dedicated swap partition all together.
In the odd event that I require more then 1.5 GB of memory for a certain
task, there is always the swap *file* option. ('man mkswap ; man
swapon' )
Speaking of which, for those of you with over 1 GB of memory out there,
what apps cause you to hit the swap partition?
