I was thinking of 100GB to allow over time for possible migration of some programs to the win7 system.

Any user experience with the dual boot sizing would be appreciated.

This question is only for you to decide man.... If your just going to use it for IL2.. then you would only need around 50gigs.. being that windows 7 is about 20gigs and IL2 is about 5gigs.. leaving 25 gig available for updates and whatnot.
