This is the wrong way to look at it. The amount of swap space you need is the total size of all the programs you want to run simultaneously (allowing for any sharing your operating system provides). You then want as much memory as possible up to the total working set of the programs you want to run simultaneously. -- Richard -- Richard Tobin, AI Applications Institute, R.Tobin@ed.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
