I have 160megs physical and 350megs swap but i think I have more than enough swap space simply because last time a program crashed due to lack of available memory the system did alot of swapping but only occupied just less than half of the total swap space. Tests with another 2 programs showed the same result.
Just this morning i finally got my new kernel working well enough although i still cant get scsi emulation to work but thats another issue.. Anyway after booting the new kernel I found that the system is now only using 78Megs of physical once it has booted compared to the 150 it was using when i was booting the kernel shipped with Mandrake 9. Thats a fair difference and i'm not experiencing as many Out Of Memory problems now. Anyway, i'm hoping to upgrade soon.
