Hello, I recently upgraded my RAM from 16MB to 32MB. I typically run the following applications on FreeBSD: Netscape, TeX, emacs, and gcc There will probably never be any more than two users on my system at any given time. When I installed FreeBSD, I only dedicated 32MB to swap space. I have read some discussion that swap space for FreeBSD should be 32MB or 2.5 times physical memory, whichever is larger. Do you feel that I should increase swap space to get the optimal benefit from my new RAM upgrade? If so, is there a way to do this without reinstalling FreeBSD? I noticed some discussion in the FreeBSD FAQ concerning adding swap space. Should I just follow the procedure, or are there other concerns here? Thank You, JM -- Jeffrey M. and Sonya C.
