swap partition size

I just installed Ubuntu onto my laptop which has 768 megs of ram. The installer wanted to make the swap partition 512 megs. I always thought that it was conventional for the the swap to be 2x the physical memory, or 1.5 gigs. Should I just stick with 512 or should I go with the 1.5 gig. Would it be overkill for a laptop? Thanks in advance.
 
It probably don't matter too much, unless you install something like VMWare or run 1 or 2 Java apps I doubt you'll touch the swap let alone fill it up.

There is no good convention, you have to decide for yourself how much memory you'll need and how much of a safety cushion you'll like.
