It used the old double your ram to determine your swap space. 
Personally, I think that's invalid when you get to systems with that 
kind of memory.  I've got the same amount of memory and a 128mb swap 
partition.  I'd say you could reclaim some unused space by reducing your 
swap.  You can do that easily by booting to single user and then:

swapoff /dev/hda5
fdisk (delete the swap space, create two new partitions from the free 
space, one for swap one for your new free space. If your new swap is not 
still /dev/hda5, update /etc/fstab to reflect the proper swap partition)
mkswap /dev/hda?
swapon /dev/hda?
reboot to multiuser.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
