Thanks,

While we talk about this, I would like to have some discussion about
minimum and maximum swap file sizes.

What would be the recommended swap file minimum and maximum
sizes, for some RAM size? If I remember correctly, recommended
maximum is a bit more than the size of the RAM, but I know that many
use much more than that.

Let's say, that I'm using a dedicated logical drive for the swap file, what
would be the recommended minimum is such a case?
and If I'm not using a dedicated partition?

thanks,

Uzi
