I don't do things that way. Why would you want to use swap when ram is
orders of magnitudes faster and cheap? I have several Centos server
from a p-3 1ghz all the way to a p-d 2.8 ghz. I have put centos 4.4 on
a p-3 550 with 256 megs of ram. The instant i could i added another 256
megs of ram because swap was chuggin the box. I don't change processors
every upgrade. hell my current machine is 5+ years old and has lived
through windows 2k and xp and will get vista. it has done centos 3 and
now centos 4. i don't advocate nor practice the windows way of hardware
management.

in memory..especially with how cheap it is these days.
The windows way of doing things is to REQUIRE more ram and faster processors
every upgrade.
