Re:I don't need no steenkin' swapspace (Score 1)

Hard drive space is cheap... I was over at pricewatch today and a 17 gig ide is 180 bucks... just over 10 bucks a gig, or a buck per 100 meg... so if you have 128 meg of ram, it's gonna cost you 2 dollars and 50 cents for swap. Even if I don't use it, I aint gonna miss it... I spend more than that on lunch anywho...

Sure, but is it worth the performance? I specifically bought a bunch of RAM so that this machine would be fast. I'll probably get at least another 256 for this machine, just to boost performance. Besides, I'd rather use the 17G for DEVO mp3s ;)
