Everything very useful in this topic but... Do you really need a swap

should be the double of your RAM size but anyway not useful bigger than
1GB.

This depends on your usage.

I have 2 GB main memory, and several VMwares instances at the same time. But mostly only one of them is active. (The one that I use for current tests.) Swapping the unused is OK, as long as one can wait for the disk thrashing when one re-activates it. It's faster and more convenient than VMware suspend, if one uses a different VMware every 15 minutes or so.

Using only 1GB swap spaces would be counterproductive since they fill up so fast if VMwares are swapped out... :-)
