    Remember when they said “swap should be 2 times the amount of RAM”.

    Why would I waste 128 GiB of storage for nothing?

    • That’s why whenever I’ve upgraded PC I always tried to double or more than double the amount of RAM my last PC had. So this last upgrade I went from 16 GiB to 64 GiB. DDR4 though. I doubt I’ll be able to double it next time with these prices though.

      They stopped saying that a long time ago. It became something like 2x ram until beyond 4GB then it was something more sane.

      Did the same thing but some apps are designed with that in mind and I had worse performance so had to do a swap file again
