Note that you don't need RAID0 to do striping on swap partitions. You can assign each swap partition a priority. If all have the same priority, the kernel (versions 1.3.6 and higher) will automatically use something like striping on them. For more info, see 'man 8 swapon' and 'man 2 swapon' for more info.
