That sounds a bit ridiculous. I have a server with 4GB of RAM and  
since we don't have that much users, we have absolutely no need for a  
dedicated swap partition. We never get to 100% RAM usage. I haven't  
even set one up. You can always just create a swapfile on your  
filesystem for emergency (and then get more RAM).
