You know that you really need to >upgrade if you run top right after a reboot with only your default >programs and services running and you're using swap Now that the interesting concept of swap has been introduced here is some additional info of my system: The swap memory is set to 1285192 Kb which is 1255 MB approx Is this the correct/appropriate size for a 128 MB RAM machine? If not how can I alter the swap size? I checked out the output of 'top' The SWAP field is showing that a process called 'X' is using 64 MB of Swap and gnome-terminal is using 4 MB of Swap So since SWAP is not showing zero in some cases is it time for an upgrade? Or is the case that its OK for processes to use 64 MB + 4 MB of swap size out of 1255 MB? Is there a benchmark, a kind of threshold, that this percentage of swap size is allowed, above this a RAM upgrade is required? Sorry for keeping you engaged. Eagerly awaiting responses.
