The swap size matters too. It has to be an exact, bit by bit of your total RAM or slightly above. Linux/UNIX do not complain if the swap size is larger than RAM. Windows will scream if your increase swap space to 3 times more than the RAM it has. Slightly larger swap than your RAM is good, incase there is some swapped data when you attempt a hibernate. -- Mike Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in a million chances happen 99% of the time. ------------------------------------------------------------
