How manu swap ?

[Albert Shih]

Hi all

I known it's classic question. 

Long time ago when I install a FreeBSD x86 32 bits when I have N Go of Ram
the installer take 2xN Go for the swap partition.

Now I just install two machine with FreeBSD amd64 version with 8Go of Ram
and FreeBSD installer take 4 Go of swap.

Is a bug in the installer or now FreeBSD don't need 2xRam of swap ?

Regards.
