With 8GB...........it still must swap...........????

I'm sure I don't quite grasp how much RAM is needed to eliminate all swaps to the HD. It would appear that this machine, using about 1.5GB of RAM, wouldn't swap at all (with 2GB of memory), but I'm positive you're correct and the relative speed of the machine is compromised severely by the swapping.
