Errmmm, this box currently has 2GB of memory (with plans to grow to 6GB), so  
according to the swap = 2x memory, shouldn't that cap have been 4G? (And IMHO,  
other than maybe a popup that the amount is excessive, you should just do what  
I say, it is way to windoweske to think you know better than the user!)
