I've FreeBSD with 8gb of ram and no swap for years. I'm currently on 9.0 64-bit.
I have 2 zfs pools:
one is a pair of 16gb thumb drives for /
the other is 4x2tb + 2x500gb mirror for 10 or so mount points
It runs with zero problems. In FreeBSD 8.x I had to set the arc max to keep from memory starving other processes but 9.0 has been fine. 32-bit was a disaster--I couldn't keep it from crashing.
I'm not running dedup.
