Wennie,
You seem to think that the amount of physical RAM should have something
to do with the amount of swap space. If so, that is wrong.
Even with huge, and 8 gigs of RAM is huge, amounts of RAM, you need a
dedicated swap partition. Don't believe those who say you don't.
The size of the swap partition should be at least 512 megs. The maximum
should normally be no more than 2 gigs. I like to spread this out over
4 disks. My setup creates a partition on each of the 4 hard drives in
my system and then /etc/fstab has an entry for each partition that says
/dev/hd# swap swap defaults,pri=1 0 0
