Installing Ram


Hello. I would like to add more RAM to my laptop. It has 512 and I will be adding 256.
Do I need to adjust the size of my Swap drive? If so, is this an easy thing to find out how to do on Google etc...

Thanks Jim

No, you will probably use less swap.

You don't need a lot of swap unless you are running a well used server

Thanks

It seems using less swap would be good.
