Last time I looked (it's been a while) it was about 1.5GB from a fresh install.
How large is your swap file?

That sounds fine to me Mike. I am guessing you are tight on space or something? Anyway I noticed when I did a couple of XP Pro reformats recently I think it started out around 2.6 GB utilisation for the SP1a level and with AV and SP2 and a few other things like Office climbed to around 5.2 GB for me.
I am assuming you do not have SP2 on there yet - you'll want to slipstream that if you're aiming to save space, or maybe look into the nu-lite thing that really tightens up on space (should be able to google it up)
