Unless you are planning on running a LOT of very memory hungry apps simultaneously, 1GB of swap would be overkill. I know the 2xRAM formula still finds favor, but this isn't true as far as I can see for machines with this much RAM. I am running with 512 MB RAM and I've never managed to make my machine use more than a small fraction of the 256MB swap allocated. So, unless you have 10 Gimp users or something, 512MB would seem like more than enough.
