Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 10

swap space is a partition on your hard drive to be used as virtual
memory when your psysical ram gets used up. What happens is your
processor writes and read to the swap partition to keep things going. It
is much slower than normal ram and the puter slows down. I have 1
gigabyte of ram in this machine and 512 meg of swap. the swap never
seems to get used.
