That depends very much on what you are trying to do with it. I have
two machines, one with 96 and one with 80MB of RAM, both have about
200 MB swap, since I do a lot of 3D rendering and image processing.

If you don't expect to use any memory-intensive tasks in the future,
32 MB will probably be more than enough, you might also get along
without swap at all.

NetBSD will not use a significantly different amount of swap space
than Linux or FreeBSD.
