[CentOS] Upgrade ram and what to do with SWAP PARTITION ?

[Masters IT Gmail]

I have a swap file of 512mb because i was using 256mb, now i already have
512mb ram installed and the swap continue on 512mb, the system is acting
better now.

System monitor says:

CPU History
3.0 or 4.0 %
User Memory:
224mb of 495mb
Used swap:
0 bytes of 512mb

I have running one windows of firefox while viewing in system monitor.
Don't know if this values are okay I think they are normal but I don't have
to much experience.

Do you think I need to make some change in swap partition like going to 1gb,
if so, where can I find some help in doing that?

Thanks for your help.

George from Uruguay.

How much swap do you currently have?
You may not need to increase swap at all.

If you do - I haven't tried this method in CentOS (or any OS) but it 
should work:

It creates a swap file instead of a swap partition. Much easier than 
finding unpartitioned space ...
