Well not much liking most electronic games, I wouldn't know about that. I presume that the reason most such games take so much space is probably mostly due to the data it needs to provide a graphics intensive virtual world for the user to play in?? In which case, I'd call that "game data" in which case I point out that I prefaced my recommendations with: >> unless you have a huge amount of data on it, I figure data is data, regardless of whether the data was created by the user, or supplied by the game makers. Of the 4gig you mentioned I'd bet at least 3gig of it would be data rather than actual game code. And 3 gig of data for a single application is in my mind a "huge amount of data" ... But yeah, If you are a gamer, and fond of the games designed for windows, then you might want A large windows partition. If the OP really wants to give windows half his 80gig drive, I'd say that for most purposes any linux he might want to try could well make do with about 20gig. which would still allow for 2 linux systems. Though I'd admit that if he is planning on ripping dvd's he would need more data space than that... - -- | --- ___ | <0> <-> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | ~\___/~ <<jtwdyp@xxxxxxxx>> ############################################################## # You can find my public gpg key at http://pgpkeys.mit.edu/ # ############################################################## -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA6bJ1RZ/61mwhY94RAjBWAKC3PYmLTwCewq/lCtO7shkK6b/wHgCfcL0N 4ZJOYcGcuZi/5UPEOz2Oeew= =0fiD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
