Eric, MonMotha, and Warren- to you each I say thanks for the thoughtful insight. Hopefully the reg ecc ddr ram that this tyan dual athlon mboard uses will be cheaper when I need more. Until then I feel like that I will be most comfortable with the 2gb of swap with the option to add more. Our primary data file that is written to throughout the day by about 70 users is about 800 mb. It is handled well enough now by the current server, so this configuration should be an improvement. Thanks again for your thoughts.
