how much space should i leave for xp boot camp?
i dont plan on playing many games
i might play one or two at most
so you think 10gb is enough?
and how much does xp take up space?
thanks in advance
 
XP generally takes around 4-6 GB with a fresh install. I'd allow at least 15 GB for your Boot Camp partition, depending on how much you think you're going to use it (i.e. how much stuff you want to save on the windows side).
 
I left 40 gigs and have used 1/2 just from the OS, Office, Photoshop, Nero and a handful of other programs I need just to make windows "usable" for me. 20 gigs left over for windows media files, and the odd game. The other 80 gig is for OSX.
