I am with you on the swap partition but why would you not want to 
separate your personal /home directory into a partition of it's own?
It's so much easier to upgrade or if a problem reinstall the OS.

As far as the swap yes I agree if you have more than 1 gig of ram it 
doesn't make much sense.
I have 2 gig of ram and still have a swap partition but that is my own 
perogative.
