Won't be wrong; my understanding of the rule was "2 * size of _possible_ RAM in the machine". But disk space is cheap, so 8 G should be fine. But again, the requirement for the swap partition depends on what you're doing with the machine and what you're expecting (e. g. will you want to save kernel dumps to the swap partition?).
You probably want to stop following that rule some time before you get to 8 TB RAM (http://semiaccurate.com/2010/09/29/inphi-imbs-can-stuff-8tb-ram-system/) :)
