I understand that swap is not as critical anymore with machines now
having 2, 4, and even larger amounts of Ram available. but aside from
being able to allow a more graceful recovery of a runaway process. how
needed is swap in a desktop machine?
reason i ask is I'm getting ready to try and cram a 3rd partition on a
macbook pro and the EFI boot schema it has can only deal with 4
partitions, but mac OSX has 2 of those and i have XP Pro in there as
well. and if i include swap space i will be at 5 not the limit of 4.
