I was having a hard time deciding the most appropriate place to post this, so I won't be terribly suprised if it's moved, but...

I'm wondering what sort of RAM : Swap Space ratio's people are working with out there. I've heard alot of talk about having 1.5x - 2x your RAM in swap space, but for me personally, that seems very unneccesary. Is there an optimal 'best' relationship for RAM : Swap, or are they unrelated after RAM reaches a certain amount? Personally, I've never used more then 100 mb of swap space. Just looking to gain some insight and comparissons.

This has been discussed fairly extensively in the archives. Here's one thread -- there are others. There's also quite a few documents on google as well.

Locking thread.
