It depends on how you use your system. If you normally end up using
a lot of swap when the system is running, then you may not have
enough free swap to suspend. If you don't need swap, and have a fair
amount of memory used as buffers, then you may get by with less swap
then total memory. On my laptop, I have 1GB of memory and 1GB of
swap, and suspend works fine.
