Not really... that was a rule of thumb said for old windows (it was really unable to use more). In linux, I have used as much as 40 times more swap than ram.
I read somewhere that the 2.4 kernel works better with swap at least 2 times the physical ram. That said, I want to make a diskless fanless silent workstation (netbooting) so I won't have anything to swap onto.
