Default Size of Swapspace

Hello,

we have two servers running SLES 9, both of which have 2 GB of RAM at the moment. Swap partition is 4 GB at present.
We want to upgrade main memory to 8 GB, but it would be a hard task to enlarge the swap partition or to add an additional swap partition to get at least 8 GB of swap space. I read All about Linux swap space and they're saying, half of main memory is enough for swap on a server system as long as memory utilization is monitored.
What are your opinions towards size of swap partition after a memory upgrade? Enlarge swap or leave it as it is?

Regards,
O.
