Swap tuning !!

[foobar]

I'm still running my idioticly slow 133 mhz box.
Now i've assigned 130 MB of swap space to it.
When i run 'top', top says that it only uses 20 of the 130 available ... can i alter something so that it will use more swap space ?

why would you want it to use more swap space?, storing it in memory will give your programs a lot faster access. were you running any programs when you ran top? if not, then your swap probly handles a lot more when running anything remotely intensive

just do as I did: stick in 1Gb of memory and do away with the swap file completely

then again ... I don't think a 133Mhz box's bios can even address that much memory
