If 126MB was adequate at 256MB, it is even more so at 768MB. I have half that (384MB) and rarely use swap. I had some processes run away and push some 30MB into swap a month ago and it just sat there until I rebooted, probably initialization code of long running daemons. My computer has been up for 10 days and no swap used. I do development, compiling 20K line programs, one VMware session running for a couple of days plus two Web servers, compiled and installed a couple of new packages, still no swap usage.

Hi all,
I am putting more RAM in my machine and probably need to increase the swap size as a result. Is that a valid assumption - that I need to increase the size of the swap partition/slice if I put in more RAM?
I am going from 256MB to 768MB. The size of the swap partition is currently 128MB.
Thanks for all the help!
