I have 1GB of RAM and ~512MB of swap! Have never used swap, except one time when File Roller when crazy and ate up all my RAM and a little of swap. In general, I just make my swap half the size of the RAM if it's more than 512MB of RAM, the same for over 256MB of RAM and twice for less. This is all, of course, on desktop system. My NFS server has 128MB of RAM and 128MB of swap, but it barely ever get over 60MB usage.

I'm running with 512 MB swap, but none of it has ever been used, at least so far.

I usually run the conky or gkrellm app to see it, but you can run the top command to see it.
