Translations:Swap/20/en

For more modern systems (>4GB), your swap space should be at a minimum be ROUNDUP(SQRT(RAM)) I.E. the square root of your RAM size rounded up to the next GB. However, if you use hibernation, you need a minimum of physical memory (RAM) size plus ROUNDUP(SQRT(RAM)). The maximum, is again twice the amount of RAM, again because of diminishing returns.
