I just got a brand new custom-built 8 gig machine. There's an outfit |
2 |
in north Toronto that has MSI motherboards with PS/2 ports, so I can |
3 |
keep my genuine IBM PS/2 clickety-clack-keyboard; wooooohooooo. And the |
4 |
integrated Intel graphics chip has *BOTH VGA AND DIGITAL OUTPUTS*! |

Anyhow, I have 8 gigs of ram on the sytem (will obviously be 64-bit |
7 |
Gentoo) and I want to know how much swap I need. The general rule of |
8 |
thumb is twice the ram. In this case, it would be 16 gigs. I think |
9 |
that it may not need swap when up, unless I do some heavy duty stuff. |
10 |
My main concern about a swap partition is how much I need for |
11 |
hibernate-to-disk to work. Is there a rule about this, or should I |
12 |
simply allocate 16 gigs out of my terabyte drive, and play it safe? |
