Hello, all.
 
I know the function of the swap and can make swap partion or file.
 
But, if there is no swap partion at system, what would be happen?
that makes the system unstable or not?
 
I have one system that has no swap, but there was no problem until now.
 
 
Thanks in advance.
 



The swap file is there to provide extra memory when the physical RAM runs out. But if you have a lot (say 4GB+) ram in your machine, you may not even necessarily use swap. So, getting back to your question, it wont' cause problems - unless you run programs which consume more resources than the physical RAM in the PC.
