Egads. You really want more swap than that, just on GP.
My new workstation (just set the little bugger up today) has 256 megs of
RAM.

(ttyp1):{1}% pstat -s

Total 2096512 0 2096512 0%
Now, I'm a bit crazy, so I tend to go overboard. But you'd proabably
want at least 512 megs on a system like that. Hell, you have 126 gig
lying around, you can afford a little more swap ;)
