Odd - I've been using an 8 gig mbp with swap disabled and I've yet to crash due to running out of ram. That's running a few browsers, editors, VM instances, possibly photoshop for some tweaking. Beachballs are very rare and would be due to software errors, not out of memory conditions - those would just crash.
