Boot Camp

Hi:
Just bought an Intel Mac, and was curious about a few things. I am planning on installing Sonar 7 PE and Project 5 on the Windows boot. How big a partition should I allocate to Windows XP? The default is 5G, but do i need to install my other programs like EZ Drummer, Reason, MOTU Ethno and MSI on the Mac boot, or the Windows boot? I'm a newb to the Mac thing....

Thanks for any help.......

    I would make it at least 15GB for programs, but I would also consider making it a lot bigger depending on how big the Mac HD is, what you are using the Mac side of things for and whether you are going to use an external drive as well. I've got mine set pretty much 50/50 but make a sure you don't do it exactly 50/50 or else you can't easily tell which partition is which and you could format the wrong one and wipe out your Mac OS!!!!
