I just did this last week. Works fine. But I just have one question:

You say your situation is that you're now running at around 1.6G free mem. So
why bump the swap area? You can do it, but the whole point was to use more
memory. If you didn't run out of swap before then you're even less likely to
run out now, unless you now plan on doing things that you didn't do before.
