well i dunno about the 3x physical memory but if memory serves me right it's
swap space = 2 x physical memory
and if you are saying NO SWAP, thats a no no you can't live without swap
either you swap to a swap partition or you swap to a file

don't remove the swap :) hehe pero 1 gig sobra naman laki babaan mo ng konti

want a bettter way to check this ? :)
here's some tricks from a wannabe oldby hehehe
depende to sa keyboard mapping mo pero the default us keyboard okay to
from your console (not in X haven't tried it there) watch your
/var/log/messages or where you log things
do ctrl + scroll lock = something like ps but detailed
and do a shift + scroll lock = this is like free but very detailed
and there is another one hrmm alt +scroll lock = i forgot what it does lol (
i dunno if this works amma research on this ulit kung ano silbi nito hehehe)

are you using those devolopment/unstable packages
maybe meron mga nag memory leak sa kanila kaya masyadong malakas lumamon ng
