Swap File size on Windows XP

What would be the largest swap file size I should specify on my Windows XP Professional install? Right now I have a 4GB partition for the swap file, but I wouldn't mine resizing with Partition Magic if I'm wasting space.

Firstly how much RAM do you have? the more RAM the less swapsize you need (in theory), and secondly the ideal size would range between 200mb to 500mb. Hope this helps

Thanks, IT Pimp. I have 512MB SDRAM.
