Wrong answer!
I use k12LTSP4.0.1 , 30 clients with Dual Xeon + 4G RAM.
My clients use many memory-wasting programs like Mozilla, OOO and Evolution.
I noticed strange restarts on clients with 32MB RAM. Even with 64MB. But clients with 128MB RAM never restarted. 
So, I added NFS swap up to 96MB per client and now all is ok. No more restarts.
So, amount of client RAM IS important!
