How big of a Vista partition would I need to run in Bootcamp

I have a two and a half year old Macbook Pro, with 120 gigabytes of hard drive space.  I've been playing the game on Mac the past few weeks, but after seeing all the complaints would like to run it on Windows.  I could get a bigger hard drive, but that would be a last resort for me.  With that said, how large of a Vista partition would I need to run Dragon Age?  If 50 GBs would be enough (and I anticipate it would, although not by all that much), I could do it.  Anything more, though, and I don't think it's feasible for me.  Does anyone here know what size partition I would need with leaving some room for Awakenings?  

Thanks much for any help.

I use XP for Bootcamp which takes up less space and is enough for DA:O.

That, however, would require me to still have a copy of a Windows XP somewhere, which unfortunately I do not

I'd say 50GB should do it, especially if you remove some windows features after install that you won't be using (media center, etc.) Might be on the tight side if you plan on playing any other modern sized games and I have no idea how big awakening is if you're interested in the expansion.

Thanks ilkelma. I figured that 50 would mean I could only play DAO right now, and that if I want to play anything else it will involve moving this temporarily over to an external for storage while i'm not playing.



Also, for notes, 50 GB is plenty. With just Vista Home Basic, all "important updates" and Boot Camp installed it left me with about 15GB to spare. I'm presuming the odds of Awakening taking up 15 GB is pretty slim.
