[QUOTE="TWBuddha, post: 674003, member: 37053"] Hi all. Just bought Fusion and plan on installing tonight. Looks pretty easy, but the one thing I'm not so sure about is how much space I'll need to allocate for Windows XP (Home Edition). I think the default is 20GB, but.. is that too much? What will I be using it for? Not much, actually.. but enough that it's important to me. I'll want to run IE 7 as there are some sites I can't access on the Mac. There are a couple of apps I'll download (FastStone Image Viewer, PalTalk for chat) and ... that's about it. All my video and image editing is done on Mac with Final Cut and Pixelmator. I don't play games. I think the PalTalk chat application is probably the only thing I can think of that might take up some memory .. but not much. What do you think? 2GB? 8GB? Leave it at 20GB? Thanks.. [/QUOTE]
