To add to what was said quite succinctly above, with the size of hard disks these days there's no reason not to set it quite large, say 2 gig or more even when you only have 256mb.
Another rule that's useful to know when you have two or more physical disks, is that the swapper is most efficiently placed on the most used partition on the least used hard disk
