this is a very subjective notion. if i have 512megs of ram, i surely don't want to purchase a 1gig drive just for swap. on the other hand, only having 4megs of ram tends to require a significant amount of swap.
instead of 'how much swap', suggest an average sum of ram+swap based on the type of usage. a small router can fit in 4megs with ease. you might want 32-48 for an advanced router. an office suite desktop probably wants 64+. i usually do fine with 80 (ram). but of course you may want 80 megs just for netscape... ;)
