i have a 3.4 box that's running just fine on a 486/33 with a 500MB drive.
but the 3 gig drive i have in my other box is much nicer to play with.
You can get away with a small drive: ~300MB if you don't do much 
development on it and you don't keep the ports on it...
but if you can... more is always nicer
