Virtual memory. Swapfile doesn't work over nfs. Having a diskless
machine with 128MB RAM for doing office-suite would be slightly
overboard, I think.

Of course, if the diskless machine is used for remote X, that's another
matter; but you'd need a real powerful server for handling all those
remote users' processes.
