Is 1gb swap enough?

[TechDude]

Is 1 gb of dedicated swap partition enough? Right now i have zonealarm, NAV 2002 and ie 5.5 running and its starting to act up..

My god man :eek: , I only run a 1gig swap file on my Win2k server which provides user-logons, DNS, DHCP & Exchange 2000 for 350+ users.

What are you using the machine for & what are its specs?

its always been said to have double the swap file size of however much ram you have

1 GB is still a lot though

Well I can tell you for a normal comp 1 gig is WAAAAAYYYYYY too big..

I have 256 meg ram. I also have ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 set and I have a 100 meg swap file that BARELY ever gets hit and IF it does it's only about 10-15 meg and I really gotta be tryin.. But I have the extra in there JUST in case...

That's my views on the subject..I play with HTML, have web pages open, run my DSLmodem (rnaapp.exe, winpppoverethernet.exe), have ZoneAlarm Pro, ICQ, Yahoo Messand sometimes even play games( such as MS Combat Flight Sim or Rainbow 6 ) without shuttin down the other programs.

But sometimes I do notice graphics glitches,. But that normally takes awhile to do when playin a game with all those runnin.
