I would recommend not RAID0-ing your swap. Linux is pretty bright about paging between them when required, and RAID-0 just prevents that logic from firing correctly, by hiding the underlying mechanics. Plus, if one of your disks goes bad, the whole RAID0 set is gone, including your swap. (This, by the way, is the argument for including swap on a RAID5 set, if you're going to pay the RAID5 penalty anyway.) So, I'd say make 2 swap partitions.
