Well actually it did run quite stable and nicely even without swap - remember that X was made to run on slower machines even back then The advantage for the 770 is that we can put a modern system on it and the tablet isn't left behind in terms of software updates (such as that OS2008HE doesn't have Diablo things for instance - and it's slow).

The goal is to provide a decent alternative that is power saving and responsive.
