I agree with Neil, 10GB for Windows and the rest for your programs, games and documents etc.
If you can though, try adding another small partition (D:) which you can put the swap file on and nothing else.
This way, your virtual memory will never become fragmented and always be very fast, a partition of 1GB is the max size that you'd want to do this.

So then you'd have:

C: WinXP (10GB)
D: Swap (1GB)
E: Programs (the rest)
