Well, on old unix systems (Solaris, AIX), if you didn't have swap at least the double of RAM you can't use all your RAM.
But, back then 64Mb RAM was a lot of RAM.
Can't use all RAM ? Are you sure about that ?
On OLD systems, yes. You'd be limited by swap, not ram.
I clearly remember (Linxu and AIX on this one) that if you had more than double, you would not use all your SWAP. RAM is always accessible ...
That always depends on the workload, but I prefer to have processes being killed by OOM instead of having the machine thrashing about. So I usually don't use more than 1GB.
