Urgent, probably buying macbook pro in 4 days

[wondering]

hey guys, i just wanna know, im planning 2 buy the 200GB macbook pro for university, and i will be partly using it for playing games using bootcamp.. i just need to know, do i only have 32GB for windows XP for playing games, or do i have the option to increase the size of the windows partition to 100GB for installing my games..?

If you can wait for Montevina, do.

You can make the Windows partition as large as your entire hard drive-OS X-5GB. You just can't use FAT32 bigger than 32, which is for the best, anyway.

To add, if you want a larger HD, currently the largest is a Samsung 500GB one.

I haven't seen it sold separately, but you can get it in an external case.

You can have it any any size you want for BootCamp, provided you leave some room for OSX. If you play a lot of games, definitely go for 100gb or more for bootcamp partition.

No, you don't need fat 32, NTFS is fine. (If you went out and bought any standard Dell or HP right now, that's what the drive would be formatted as).
