I'm sure there's many on this list that understand swap much more than
I but I would recommend googling what you really NEED swap for and
consider running without if you think the downside is acceptable. I
run swapless on my EEEPC and haven't had any issues.

I may be wrong but I can't think of any way creating swap in RAM would
be helpful.
