I have 3 desktop machines with 32 GB of memory. In all 3 I still have swap |
| 13 |
(32 GB, I stopped using the "twice the amount of RAM" rule years ago). I |
| 14 |
don't think I have ever used one single byte from the swap; it always sits |
| 15 |
with "0 bytes used" when I check top. |

So I don't think you need the swap; I keep using it in case I need to ever |
| 18 |
hibernate the machines, bit I never do. Also, it's always on the mechanical |
| 19 |
disks, so it's dirty cheap. |
