http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs_vs_fat.htmNTFS/FAT INFO
http://www.ntfs.comNTFS runs on optimised 4096 byte clusters no matter what the size of drive.
FAT 32 is not supported on very large drive volumes and works better on small volumes anyway.

For XP it should be about 8·0Gb is the general advice, if you are going to partition your hard disk-drive.
