This is not a very good idea. You'd gain much more by:

- putting the second disk on the second IDE (MASTER or SLAVE)
- having swap on both disks (interleaved swap)
- reducing swap (do you REALLY need 3GB of swap space?)

Assuming you really will upgrade to 2GB RAM and you'll make heavy usage of
it I would probably allocate it like this:

- first disk EIDE first channel MASTER
- 128MB /
- 1GB swap
- 3.8GB /usr
- 23GB /home
- second disk EIDE second channel MASTER
- 128MB /tmp
- 1GB swap
- 1.8GB /var

You can probably reduce the swap sizes somewhat unless you actually expect
to really need that much.

Hope this helps some.
