swap space on multiple drives

Hi,
After reading the following section of the Handbook, I'm still a little 
confused.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/
configtuning-initial.html#SWAP-DESIGN

If I have 128MB ram, and 2 drives on seperate controllers, would I create swap 
partitions of 256MB on each drive?

What if I have 1GB ram?  It won't be swapping much anyway.  Surely 2 swap 
partitions of 2GB each won't hurt, but is that overkill?

Charles
