when ppl had 128mb of ram maybe. i see fewer and fewer people recommending this anymore, because it's simply not needed. if you're running 1-1.5gb of ram you should NEED that big of a swapfile.
I used to customize the swap. However, with newer comps, I've been letting windows handle it. I don't see any performance issues with this. Besides...everything should be in memory with 1GB...I doubt I will ever see it swap. I would be interesting to see if it's possible to get 2GBs and use the turn off swap option 😉 wonder how that would perform...hmmm 😀
