What you *might* consider doing:

A swap partition the size of *ONE* RAM chip.

A swap file the size of all your RAM chips.

If you are having kernel panics, you can pull out RAM and then get
your kernel dump, I would presume.

This is a made-up answer from a guy who has no idea what he's talking
about, really...
