If you intend to hibernate, then you need at least the same size of the ram.
Otherwise, I think 1GB is good enough. But you can always use a file as a swap

I am configuring a server with 3 GB of RAM; how much swap partition size should I allocate. I think allocating twice of RAM will be waste of HDD space. What is the standard.
