The 'ram * 1.5 = swap' rule is IMO very outdated. It is okay for PCs with less

Today i'd use '1Gb - RAM = SWAP'

totally agree, however keep in mind that you'll need at least as much
swap as your ram if you want to do suspend to disk. I have 640MB of
ram and 1GB of swap (yes, it's really a lot, but it comes very handy
when testing out experimental kernels :-P )
