I am running a MacBook with Leopard. 120 gb hd. 3 gig ram. How much space
is recomended for an install of Win XP home or pro?

Right now I have 95.47 gb free on hd.

Any thoughts, comments? All welcome.

Regards......

Installing Windows on a Mac would have the same requirements as installing on
a PC. In other words, what does Windows require? Keep in mind that the
minimum requirement is just that, the absolute minimum required to make the
OS run. Not run smoothly, but just run. I try not to get any HD more than 90%
full, and as far as RAM is concerned, I like at least double what the
requirements are for the OS, plus extra for running any third party apps.
