[QUOTE="Mac_Biodiesel, post: 740719, member: 41185"] I did 40gb (out of 200) for my MBP XP partition, but that's because I have a TON of windows games on it. Even still, I've got left over space. Spore recommends at least 5GB of space, add to that 2GB minimum for XP and you're at 7GB. I'd go no less than 10GB for the partition to allow for Virtual Memory as well as future installations, but if I were you I'd do 20GB to be safe. Storage space is cheap. If you run out of space for your Mac, just get an external drive. Running out of space on your Windows partition will be much more of a pain! [/QUOTE]
