AFAIK Vista Premier takes around 5.8GB...If am not wrong,size also depends on page file..

my opinion is
Reserve 15GB Space for your Vista Drive
Its will run fantastic

Vista Home Premium is just good enough for this. Ultimate has just got three or four features extra added when you compare with other Vista Editions.
