Hi,

I would like to run Cryengine at home since we are using it at college. As of now it is only available on Windows... and I've got a Mac. :/

I have installed a 255GB OCZ 450 SSD in the mac.

I would like to have OS X as my main OS and Windows 7 solely for Cryengine. Cryengine I'm planning to keep on a memeory stick, so I can run it of that at college and have my files.

64 bit of Windows 7 I hear is about 20gb. :S how much space does it reckon to require to function properly as it will still be running powerful software?


Thanks
Harry

The base install is roughly 20 GB. However, you'll want something like 30GB to allow for drivers and updates. I would recommend a larger partition, but it doesn't sound like you're installing anything.
