That would depend on the allocation patterns of your applications. On a system with 2 GB of RAM and 2 GB of swap, I have tested: overcommit_memory=2 overcommit_ratio=98 and I could allocate (and use) 3.8 GB of memory for an application without triggering the OOM. You may need to test some values before you decide what's best for you.
