It's not useless at all.

The free memory didn't change because you didn't change the amount of
virtual memory (man swapon) but because you have added more real memory,
it's likely that you will do a lot less paging in and out of virtual
memory. Of course, you can add more virtual memory - see the man pages
referenced above.
