I would recommend at least 512MB to 1 GB for a swap-file on an XP system with 384 MB of physical RAM. My earlier formula of 2.5 times the physical RAM may have been a little too firm of a statement. Just make your total (physical+virtual) memory equal to 1-2 GB for most systems, and you'll be fine. Just decide what's more important to you--disk space or application performance--and adjust accordingly.
