actually, the rule I've read is 2.5 - 3 tines ram. I have also found lately that at least on me it doesn't help much if at all and that if you have enough ram I think it is 96mb and up, you don't evenneed swap and there is a line to limit it that I cannot recall. In me and I believe 98 2nd edition, we are told to let the pc handle swap. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Parsons" <akp@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 8:28 AM Subject: Re: A few questions Hi all, My computer guru says that when allocating swap, to allocate twice as much swap as you have memory. He says it is a rule of thumb learned from years of running networks and dealing with computers in a company setting. Ann P. -- Ann K.
