Overclock it or Die!

1. Install XP first, then Ubuntu. Reason: Windows XP's bootloader does not recognize Ubuntu but Ubuntu's detects XP!
2. Let the setup do all the partitions. Just select the drive and stuff and let it figure out how to divide it, it usually works out best. Swap space is like the pagefile, it's virtual memory.
