i know underdog5004, the swap barely gets used i just needed it to hold some of the system so i can run the apps i do use. what happens is the apps i use regularly pushes the system apps that just sit there on to the usb swap so instead of taking up ram i'm using for the actual apps i'm using, since the stuff that gets pushed off to the usb rarely(never) gets used it just sits there with no activity in the usb. basically i just needed more space. my laptop is a hp omnibook xe2 450mhz 256ram, the hd died,the floppy and cdrom are ify, but it still manages to work if i can get the system into ram. it's been up and running like that for almost 3 months.
also i don't really care about the usb as it is one that was already on the verge of dieing, it was very ify, somtimes would work, sometimes not, but i've had no problems using it as swap for more space.
