 ====== Extending RAM via file SWAP ======
+{{INLINETOC 2 4 }}
 ===== Introduction =====
 There are some applications and network situations that may require the need for more RAM, like DLNA file indexing, Tor or disk checks. There are a couple of options of upgrading RAM, via soldering or using a SWAP partition on a USB thumb drive. This how-to describes installing SWAP on a USB thumb drive. This method is a bit slower but also more convenient. Your router will need a USB port like the TP-Link TL-WR1043ND v1-1.8
-The SWAP partition will be automatically mounted after plugging the right media to router USB port.
+This feature only works with gargoyle firmware 1.5.2 and above
+The SWAP partition should automatically mount after plugging the right media into router USB port. You may need to reboot your router or run
+example
+<shell>
+mkswap /dev/sda2
+</shell>
+change //sda2// to suite your SWAP partition
