Personally, I have an old 6gig drive on which I have a dump partition (it doesn't need to be active swap). 6gig drives are too slow to be useful these days. I generally allocate 4 swap partitions on fast drives where each is about 1/2 of memory (2x total). Speed of swap is as important as size of swap.
