The best is to create a 8GB partition for the swapdrive, and let windows manage it's own swapfile size. 8GB might be a bit large, but capping it at 4GB is sometimes too small... And since you have another larger external harddisk, you won't really miss the 4 extra GB's.
So I would say, make your:
- C partition 62GB for windows and appz
- D partition 8GB for pure swapfile
- E partition 320GB your external harddisk
A separate swapfile partition is faster, but don't expect miracles from it, although it speeds up programs like photoshop a bit.
