Virtual Memory Question

I just bought myself a new hard drive with 250 gb of space (why you ask? i have no idea <.<) and was wondering if it would be a good idea to create like a 10 gb partition and use it all as virtual memory...

System Specs
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
Asus Motherboard
250 GB Western Digital Caviar
512 MB Ram (getting 1gb soon...)
ATI Radeon 9200 128 MB AGP
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy XGamer

all you really need is max 1.5gb's because you have descent RAM so it wouldn't LAG so much

the most windows xp will let you use as virtual memory is 4gb.
