[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 176003, member: 3850"] The amount of space given by apple (40GB) is the raw space on the disk. In order to use it though, it needs to be formatted. This takes up a percentage of your useable space, so in actual fact a 40GB drive will only have 36-37 available to be used. OS X and the iLife apps will use up another 3-8 GB of this space, depending of what you've selected to install. Monolingual should be fairly safe to use, as long as you don't have any apps that depend on foreign languages. [/QUOTE]
