I don't know about more than 2GB of swap, but, here's top's top from
a similarly endowed machine...

 12:16pm  up 125 days,  6:45,  1 user,  load average: 3.19, 3.00, 2.95
202 processes: 197 sleeping, 4 running, 1 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.0% user,  0.0% system,  0.0% nice,  0.1% idle
Mem:  2010080K av, 2006880K used,   3200K free,   6060K shrd, 535920K buff
Swap: 2097136K av,   5000K used, 2092136K free                1157648K cached

Note the swap figure. :-)

Wesley.
