You only need the possible 2x RAM for swap if you swap out at all.  If
you don't swap (highly unlikely with that amount of RAM, I would
imagine) then you don't need swap at all.

Im currently running 2.4.6-pre5 from SGI's XFS tree, and it's all
working very nicely.  I have 256M of RAM, and two 256M swap
partitions, spread across two channels.
