I don't know what your exact problem is, but the general advice is to use
a swapfile which is at *least* 16MB bigger than the amount of Ram you
have.
At boot up only about 20-30MB should be in use. If this is not the case
you might well have something in there leaking memory.
The only way to fix this is to do a fresh install of NT4. (This is
known as the "Take off and nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to
be sure". solution)
