hi,
the usual recommendation is to have the swap at 1.5 times your memory,
but at 128MB you shouldn't ever need that much.
Unless you are running an app that might need loads of swap (eg mathcad)
then 64 MB is a number that is often bandied around in answer to this
question.
Essentially you dont want to run out of memory, but also, you dont want
to use up too much disk space.
(for your info, in my 40 MB RAM machine I have 50 MB swap, for your
perspective. I have never used more than half of it (and that was with
about 6 netscapes, X, and an mp3 encoder), although I have never run
staroffice and compiled my kernel at the same time etc etc)
