I heard that swap memory partition should be double the size of ram.. is it true? so I have to keep 8 GB swap space? I'm gonna install Ubuntu gnome 13.04.

    Take a look at [SwapFaq](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq). – Mitch Aug 05 '13 at 11:25
  • 4 gigabit RAM (or 0.5 GB RAM) is rather low. Did you mean byte (capital B) rather than b (bit) ? – Hennes Aug 05 '13 at 12:00

You are supposed to have your swap set at a minimum of equal your ram (4gb) but it's recommended to set it at double (8gb).
