I have not configured a system with less swap than real yet. But I expect the results depend on how the VM system is written. On systems that don't fall over if swap is less than real, you just end up not using all of your real memory thats available. If the kernel and buffer pool are not in Virtual memory, then swap could be smaller than real and you could still use all of real memory. The ratio of swap(VM space) to real is mostly a performance tradeoff only. Pete.
