My understanding is that in a way you are right, in a way not. (Hows that for a definitive answer.) More ram decreases the likely hood of needing to use swap but the old rule of thumb 2x ram=swap still is applied. I will be honest in saying that above about 256M or ram the only thing I use swap for is suspend space based on what I do. In fact I did pull a real boner about 6 months ago and built a box with 768M ram and forgot to create a swap partition. It ran pretty well for a long time... we noticed it when it went into an infinite loop one day. (programing loop.) and it was trying to page. Put an old 2gig in it as a swap drive just in case but it really didn't "improve" things at all except when the infinite loop is run.
