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).
