[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1233573, member: 46727"] If you use virtual machine software such as Fusion or Parallels, it will adjust the size of the VM file to accommodate the amount of space it needs. Fusion automatically set my VM up as 40 GB but later adjusted it lower since that was way too much for the few Windows apps that I run. Using Boot Camp is a horse of a different color. It leaves the space option up to you. If you go the BC route with Windows 7 x 32 bit you should probably give it between 30 and 50 GB according to the apps you have. Adjust that upward if you go with the Windows 7 x 64 bit version. [/QUOTE]
