[QUOTE="6string, post: 1010752, member: 120039"] Welcome to mac Forums. It would only be as good as a guess, so I would play it safe with 80-100GB. Other alternative is to invest in a [url=http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Hitachi/0S00157/]500GB 2.5" Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 7200RPM SA... (0S00157) at OWC[/url] which you may be able to find a bit cheaper elsewhere. This would give you ample space to play with, as well as having a better larger and faster HD than the stock 250GB HD coming with your Mac. You could then get an external enclosure for your existing HD and use it for backups. Also, before you ask, the HD and Ram are end user upgradable, and will not effect your warranty :) [url=http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook-Polycarbonate-Unibody/1239/1]MacBook Unibody Model A1342 Teardown - iFixit[/url] [/QUOTE]
