Yes and No!
Yes, if you run kernels 2.0.36 or earlier.
Kernel 2.2.x and later is happy to eat your whole swap for lunch.

Subject: [ale] Kernel limitation?
I just had someone tell me something that surprised me and I wanted
other input.
He said that he was told that Linux accesses only the first 128 MB of
swap. Is this true? So if I set up a 1 Gig swap partition, I can't
allocate 1 Gig of memory? Has anyone tried this? Is it different on a
Beowulf cluster (swap/node)?
Any info is helpful.
Thanks,
Justin
