The general heuristic (& you don't have to follow it...) for determining how much swap space to configure is 2x the amount of RAM. Likewise, /var/crash can be used to capture crash dumps, but sufficent space will need to be available for (roughly) 2x the amount of RAM here too. You should familiarize yourself with the savecore(8) & crash(8) manpages for more information on these features.

dmesg(8) output can also help you determine the amount of addressable RAM.
