[nylug-talk] if I have 64GB of RAM, how much swap do I really need?

[Heow Eide-Goodman]

It's a nice box SunFire x2200, SATA HDs and 64GB of RAM.

It'll be used as a in-memory DB server (hence the large amount of RAM),
but how much swap would you suggest?  Seriously, simply accessing 96 to
128GB of disk-space will take _time_

Thanks,
