Even with huge, and 8 gigs of RAM is huge, amounts of RAM, you need a
dedicated swap partition. Don't believe those who say you don't.
On the contrary. I run many systems without any swap at all.
What you get by using swap is (from a very simplified point of view)
that if you use up all memory, instead of the programs crashing, the
system gets "slower" (but keeps running). Whether to use swap or not
depends on what you're doing with your computer.
