Choosing the right amount
of swap space can be a bit
of an art. A good rule of
thumb is that you should
have two or three times the
amount of RAM as swap
space. So if you have 64MB
of RAM then you should
have between 128MB and
196MB of swap. You
should also have at least
64MB of swap, so if you
have less than 32MB of
RAM in your computer
then set the swap amount to
64MB.

i think what was meant was 2 to 3 times as much swap space as ram
