Title: Can we swap bigger?
Post by: GeozTsai on August 03, 2007, 01:00:27 am
I usually dislike the music in games athough some dont have music...
so a play a little with the e2 music player, and my 3d games start to lag.
Instead of overclocking the e2, can we swap a little more ?  ;)

You MUST make a swap partition instead of using a swap file. It's better. All the recent Firmwares support swap and ext3 partitions.  Actually, I'm using a 64MB Swap Partition and it's pretty cool and ENOUGH. A 512MB Swap file is kinda USELESS, because our rokrs won't ever need to load such a big applications ;)

i myself is using a 30mb(29mb to be exact lol...) swap partition and IMO its more than enough

just remember to backup ur stuff when creating the ext3 partition...

swapfile can be generated using 'dd'

Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=30720

This will generate a 30mb swapfile
