I have found that for a Windows-XP that is actually USED over a longer period, something like 6GB is about the minimum, unless you do a lot of tweaking and removing unneeded stuff, or move lots of data to other partitions ...

In order to have anything resembling a usable Windoze2K, I had to go to
12GB.

Yes, but that depends on what kind of applications you have and use.

On a dedicated machine that I use for web-browsing and photoshop only,
I have been running Windows-XP in 6GB for a few years now ...

On my T42, that has the same plus a few other applications,  and is used more, I also have something like 12GB (which is 75 full :-)

If you are going to be crazy enough to go web suring running windows, you should at least know enough to clear out the hidden files which M$ keeps of your surfing history.  Go to:  sillydog.org/mshidden.php and read the article which explains all about M$ hidden files and why your system's free disk space keeps shrinking.
