So I am thinking about just getting a solid state drive just to instal windows 7 home premium on and a few games like dirt 3, mass effect 2 and that's about it, I just wanted to know if a 64gb SSD would be big enough with some extra room. Also I was wondering what people put on their SSD and the sizes they own
 
64GB should be good for that. Other people I know have put CS5 on to speed up program load times and file save speeds.
 
I got a 32GB and pretty sure, the only things I have installed to it are windows 7 64-bit and all the drivers for my video card. I use about 15.6 GB out of 29.8, so saying that your 64GB will show up as a 59.6 GB, you'll have about 44GB left to install programs too. It's recommended that you keep your internet browser off of it.
 
32GB here. 30GB formatted. Windows, Office, Updates, Drivers, and web browsers, 2GB pagefile. That's it.
 
60gb MLC seens as 55. OS / browsers / MS office suite of programs and apps / and a few other smallers. Have 33GB left. OS folders/public folders/Office -Outlook personal folders(pst) including where mail is delivered to and archiving, and others, go to hdd. Have SLC for browser cash/pagefile when I have it enabled/temp dl's/etc.

I didnt look to see how big dirt3 and me2 are. Assuming 14gb for both and allowing 16 for os = 30gb which would leave you about 20 if you leave some unused for wear leveling.
 
I have 2 60 Gigs, one dedicated for Win7, the other dedicated for programs only; everything else is on a HDD. Win7 takes up 26 GB as-is right now, more as more updates and patches come out.
 
Win7 can't be 26 GB, there has to be something else on that drive. That seems way too huge. Unless you're talking about office and all that.

All Windows. Well, Defraggler is on there, but that's barely 8.4 MB, so yeah...26 Gigs.
