Stupid swap question

We have a couple of 2100's with 512MB of memory.

We only have 200MB of swap space for those machines, on the assumption
that the available memory was SWAP + MEMORY, if swap over-commit mode
was used. I believe that e.g. old Sun boxes did this.

However, it appears we can not use 512MB of memory on those machines.
Was the assumption incorrect? Should we be allocating at least 512MB
of swap? We've removed /usr/bin/swapdefault, so it's in swap
over-commit mode.
