are you speaking about swap size?

If you are talking about swap, then 18Gig for 8gig of memory is, by normal convention, more than adequate. More than that might decrease system performance under certain circumstances.

Of course, another variable is your CPU -- if you are running a 32 bit processor, you won't be able to address properly more total (physical + virtual) than you have anyway.

Hi

I agree with Alan if you are referring to swap then 18GB is good.

If you feel this issue is resolved you can assign points and close this thread,assigning points is a nice way to show gratitude for the people who helped you, you assigned 1 out of 30.
