Optimum size for what? I can't tell if you are talking about SL or Win7.

Optimize size for SL, I will be using windows 7 more so i need max amount of space there.

From Apple.com

Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation

That is the minimum requirements; I don't know an exact number but I would assume that the optimum space is somewhat more than 5 GB.

[EDIT] I would say leave 15-20 GB (or maybe a bit more) for SL, so you'll have enough for usability. That still leaves plenty out of a 500 GB HDD.

ok will leave 400 for windows side.

thanks.
