How much space should I allocate for Windows?

I have decided to install Windows 7 onto my computer. My only use for the Windows partition would be for gaming, e.g. Battlefield , some 007 games, Wings of Prey, etc......
Otherwise, I don't think I will use Windows for much else.
I may use an External hard rive, but having some of the games on the internal hardrive could be helpful.
I'm Downloading a copy of Windows 7, 64-bit.
Thank you for your time

You should make the Windows partition at least 50GB for Windows. I don't know what programs or what data you will have. So add enough space for your programs, updates, patches, and data to 50GB and you will be safe. I have 200GB but 120GB may be enough for you.

How much room should be partitioned for Windows XP?

Alright, I have a different install disc for XP with SP3 which should work. Since I'll only be using XP for a couple of things (mainly small programs, but also for office and such), how much room should I leave for XP on my 320 gig HD so that both OSs have some breathing room (most of my other stuff like music and pictures are on the Leopard side of things)?

But I hear that it has better compatibility to run FAT32 than NTFS. Does it really matter too much?
While OSX is able to read and write to FAT32 partition, it can only read from NTFS partitions.
With the help of apps like NTFS-3G http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ and/or NTFS for Mac http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ OSX can also write to NTFS partitions.
To me personally this is no problem, since I want OSX and Windows to seperated (I even have Windows on a harddisk of its own in my Mac Pro) and for file exchange between OSX and Windows I use an external FAT32 HD.
But the advantage of the newer, better and more robust NTFS file system outweighs these 'disadvantages'.
And FAT32 has a file-size limitation for single-files of 4GB.
Also, not to be pessimistic, but what if something goes wrong with the partition or install? Can I restart my Mac and would it be unaffected? This disc should work, but I want to know just in case...
Before 'fumbling' with any kind of partitioning on a harddisk I always make a backup of my important files, or better said I use SuperDuper to make a bootable clone of my OSX.
While the chances that something goes wrong are quite slim (I have made the partitioning with the BootCamp Assistant for about 10 times now), the possibility is always there.

I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

I'm trying to update iOS 7 and it says I need 3.4 GB of storage to update.. I currently have on my storage 797 MB and 12,6 GB used. How much storage should it write for me to be able to update?

If your ipad has only 797 MB free and it tells you that you need 3.4 GB to update, then you need to begin deleing files, whatever it takes to free up space.
Consider...
Delete apps you don't use.
Delete videos you don't want (these take up a lot of space).
Do you have a lot of emails stored on the device?
Are there apps that store data files, like a PDF reader? If there are a lot of these, you need to delete some.
The bottom line is that you need to remove data and/or apps on your device to make more storage available.
But for videos and photos, always sync them to a computer first to archive them.

How much space it is occupying for each Material Master in MARA table.

Hi Gurus & Markus .
If one of the functional consultant creates a Material Master in MARA how much space it will occupy for each. Like we need to create 10000 material masters.
How can i access exactly to that table in terms of db growth.
>Rahul

use this command:
select blocks from dba_tables where table_name='MARA';
then add 8 entries. then same command:
select blocks from dba_tables where table_name='MARA';
check difference between the 2, you will get a small number, you will get the number of Kbytes used per record.

How much RAM should I install for new iMAC ?

Hi,
How much RAM should I install for new iMAC* running Logic Studio? It comes with 4 GB - is that enough? (can you run in 64 bit mode..)
*(The 21.5" 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo)
Also, I was planning to get the stock 1 TB Hard Drive & save projects to an external drive.
Does that sound reasonable?
Any other recommendations?
Thanks,
Wm Heart

Unless you plan on running huge projects with enormous sampled instruments, 4 GB will do (very) fine. And your disk plan is sound. Choose an external Firewire drive, rather than USB. FW is easier on the CPU and can handle more tracks than USB.
What you should get, instead of more memory, is a (24 bit) external audio interface, if you want to do serious recording and playback.
What type of audio interface you'ld need, depends on what you want to do with it and of course your budget. From decent to brilliant costs from roughly 100 to several 1,000's of europounddollars. Avoid the 16 bit ones, they're worse than the inbuilt audio chip of your iMac. You can recognize 16 bit Audio Interfaces (in webshops) by their prize (often under 100€£$) and the lack of mention of their bitrate.

How much HD space should I partician for Windows XP?

I am upgrading to a new (2010) iMac i5 with 1 TB HD and I was wondering how much disc space I should make for Windows XP? I only have a couple of special apps that I use in Windows and the attending files do not take up much space so other than the OS I may not need too much, but would appreciate a little starting point. Thanks.

I got this mixed up with my Shakespearean readings. I should be partition. I hit the key before reading.

How much RAM & CPU should I allocate for Windows 7 Ultimate?

I am in the process of setting up my new 27" iMac i7. I'm brand new to Apple computers so this is a learning curve for me! I have installed Parallels Desktop 5 so I can run Windows 7 side by side with Snow Leopard. Now I am trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate but I don't know how much RAM and CPU to allocate to my virtual machine. Has anyone done this and can anyone help? I have 8 gb RAM and 1 tb Hard Drive.
Thank you for your help!

Hello SwissCanuck,
Just FYI, with regard to 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7:
You will not be able to "upgrade" from a 32-bit version of Windows 7 to 64-bit -- the architecture between the two is too drastically different to allow such a change. To learn more about the differences between a 32-bit operating system and 64-bit please go to the following link: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequ ently-asked-questions
Additionally, check out the requirements here for Windows 7:
If you want to run Windows 7 on your PC, here's what it requires:
•1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
•1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
•16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
•DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
Obviously covered as per your hardware. Essentially, it is always better if you run Windows 7 as a "Native OS" you can do this with boot camp from Apple. Typically, the performance is not as fast in virtual environments

How much space should I dedicate from my hard drive for Windows?

So I am going to buy a Macbook Pro w/768 GB Flash Storage. I need to run windows on it for Autodesk products for school. Should I install Windows 7 or 8? And how much of my hard drive should I dedicate to it? I will need Revit, Autocad, & Autocad 3D Civil. I would like to have extra space as well for antivirus and any other possible software I may have to install.
This will be my first Mac so I'm kind of lost.

If that turns out not to be sufficient space then you can use CampTune to add more space non-destructively.
I base it on experience. Windows plus your software will likely take up nearly 40 or 50 GBs altogether. Allow another 20 or 30 GBs for data and miscellaneous. This leaves about 20 GBs of extra space.

How much space will be allocated for Occurs 10

Hello,
Kindly clarify my below queries?
1) if occurs 0 takes minimum 8 kb space
then how much will occurs 10 will take .
i.e when to use occurs 0 ,occurs 10 ,occurs 100?
2) what is the maximum number of lines an internal table can contain ?
Regards,
Rachel

Hi,
<li>OCCURS <n>. The below information answers both questions.
This size does not belong to the data type of the internal table, and does not affect the type check. You can use the above addition to reserve memory space for <n> table lines when you declare the table object.
When this initial area is full, the system makes twice as much extra space available up to a limit of 8KB. Further memory areas of 12KB each are then allocated.
You can usually leave it to the system to work out the initial memory requirement. The first time you fill the table, little memory is used. The space occupied, depending on the line width, is 16 <= <n> <= 100.
It only makes sense to specify a concrete value of <n> if you can specify a precise number of table entries when you create the table and need to allocate exactly that amount of memory (exception: Appending table lines to ranked lists). This can be particularly important for deep-structured internal tables where the inner table only has a few entries (less than 5, for example).
To avoid excessive requests for memory, large values of <n> are treated as follows: The largest possible value of <n> is 8KB divided by the length of the line. If you specify a larger value of <n>, the system calculates a new value so that n times the line width is around 12KB
Thanks

How much space do I need for back up when I upgrade?

Hi All,
I'm going to upgrade to 10.8 from 10.6.8.
I have never used time machine before, but am planning to do so now to back up before upgrading.
My disc is around 600GB in total.
If all goes fine, after a few days I plan to back up again with the new osx, continue from that point making regular back ups in 10.8.
Question: Do these new back ups in 10.8 start from scratch as its a new OS, or will Time Machine just add the changes to the first one I did, like it would normally do.
The reason I ask is that I'll have no need for the 10.6.8 back up once all is installed and working fine and backed up in 10.8. So if its a fully new back up, then I'd like to delete the inital one so I'm not using 500gb of space twice.
Thanks for your help.
Richard

If you perform an upgrade to Mountain Lion, Time Machine will carry on using the backup you started with Snow Leopard, so it will continue making incremental backups. Also, it will keep your Snow Leopard backups

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

How much RAM should I get for My 2013 Mac pro?

I am buying a Mac Pro on behalf of my production company. I am getting half payment up front to buy gera and the other half in a month or two, I am looking at the 8 Core Model, with Dual D700's, and 256GB PCIE Hard Drive but not sure if to go 32GB RAM or 64GB RAM. I dont want to break the bank more than I half to, plus for now I am manily using 1080p or at most some 4k here and there. I just dont want to waste another 800 dollars on 32GB RAM more now, when I can wait until I get my other half of my salary for the TV show Im working on.

Which Adobe software are you using? Premiere Pro CC and After Effects CC? Anything else?
How do you use the software? What kind of workflow?
What kind of files do you edit? How big are they?
This queston is best posted in the specific product forums where the users of the software can give more specific tailored advice.

How Much space will I need for developing apps

I will be purchasing a MacBook Air most likely the $1109 with 64GB and 4GB RAM, I was wondering is 64GB okay for developing apps and personal use. I use about 18GB on my PC and I'm thinking I'll only need about 20GB MAX more, so 38GB used in total. Is the remaining amount good for developing apps, excluding XCODE itself, just the coding/ files needed?
THANKS

If you need to run XP then since BootCamp no longer supports it, your only choice would be on of the virtual software packages to run Windows.

How much quota should on tablespace for single user

suppose i have created one tablespace ts1 having datafile
size 1000m . and only single user belonging this tablespace.
so i want to know what shoulg be optimal quota on that user.
unlimited is ok?

Running a huge join will only cause TEMP to get used. It won't cause any storage to "normal" data files.
If only one user accesses the tablespace, UNLIMITED seems to be a logical choice. The only time I've used non-unlimited quotas was when I wanted to prevent one user from hogging the space in a shared tablespace.

Bootcamp How Much space do i need

HI guys going to put Vista or XP on with bootcamp, how much space should i dedicate for windows to be comfortable.
Tks guys

As much as you're comfortable with. By default Boot Camp creates a 32 GB partition. This is the largest partition you can have if you format it FAT. Larger partitions will require using NTFS. Since NTFS is read-only to OS X you may prefer using FAT to ease copying files to and from the OS X and Windows volumes.
