Why more Swap ? You enough physical mem. Forget the rule. Use your sense. I had a server with 16 G RAM and the ideal swap would be atleast 32 G. But just configured the box with 2 G swap( SGA < 1 G ) and didn't have any pbms. When we strugled with 512 MB RAM, Those rules were right but not any more...
