virtual memory swap size

[Craig White]

Just looking to pick everyone's brain here.

If you have 128Mb RAM what would be the optimal size to make the swap
partition?  If you are running HTTP off this machine would it matter?

How about 512MB RAM or are there hard and fast rules?

I have seen suggestions from 1MB over the real amount of RAM to 2x the real
amount of RAM so I am unclear.

TIA

Craig
