Question Adding RAM


my swap partition is at 512MB when I first installed RH 7.3. I suppose my swap partition is configured 512MB by RH coz my physical memory is 256MB. If I add RAM to 512MB, will RH automatically size my swap partition accrodingly?

probably not, but with that much ram, your not going to be using it anyway.

My swap is 912mb......but only because I stuffed up when I was making my partitions in cfdisk and couldn't be bothered changing it
Throw as much ram in as you can, linux will love it.
