On an XO-1.75 you can also swap to internal storage, USB, and network block device.
But several clients shouldn't cause any problems with 512 MB of RAM, that's way more than enough. Please monitor the memory usage over the test. I think you need to examine the issues in more detail, and add a serial console to catch any kernel panics. Our XO-1.75 kernel was designed and tested as a client, not a server, so you may need to re-engineer it for server use.
