Ah! Well, in that case I would try setting up 1GB (1024 MB) of virtual RAM on that drive and see how things work. (General recommendation is that virtual memory should be about 2X your RAM.) You can use the rest of the drive for backups....
To cover off J-Roc's comment about the speed... that all depends on the drive and the controller. In one machine I have a pair of 9GB drives that spin at 10,000 and very high throughput - max is 80MB/s. That said, even if the throughput is relatively slow, you will still likely get better performance than running with the virtual memory on the main drive.
