Hi David -
I haven't used Parallels, but on my G5 I have 2 VMs in Virtual PC 7, both
running Win XP Pro (one with Office 2003, one with Office 2007). One
occupies ~8 GB the other ~13 GB, plus ~50 MB for the application.
On my Intel MBP I run VMWare Fusion with Vista Ultimate & Office 2007. The
app occupies ~131 MB and the VM ~16 GB.
I would expect similar requirements for Parallels.
