Second, when I filled my computer's RAM (thanks, Chrome/Chromium), it didn't crash even if I had no swap at all. It just became really, really unresponsive. To the point it would take a minute or so register a mouse click and close a browser window and free up some RAM. That said, it's expected for a computer that's out of RAM to become unresponsive, regardless of the OS used. It's not expected to crash though.
Fwiw, if you have the swap on a HDD, that may/will behave differently.
