I had a 486 with 16 MB Ram and only 10 MB swap (my first experimental system, one 125 MB IDE drive, everything into /, it works). Sometimes the screen gets many colors, system stops and reboots by itself (how perfect). This could be circumvented by other 16 MB Ram. So there seems to be some need for memory, besides the old rule, that swap should be twice as large as RAM (and a little bit more).
