I wouldn't do anything to the swap file.  If you ADDED memory, you do NOT need 
to make your swap file any bigger.  If you didn't set the hard disk up with 
lvm or some other volume management scheme, it's kind of risky to move things 
around.  Traditionally, the rule of thumb was 1.5 x real memory size for the 
swap file, but once you get 512 or more of ram, it gets fuzzy.  If you REALLY 
want more swap, create a new swap partition, or a swap file and turn it on.  
you can have more than one source of swap (though I caution that they should 
be the same size, since most unix variants use swap round-robin).
