The min system requirements can be found Professional Edition system requirements

Hardware requirements:

Minimum: 2.0 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB HDD

Recommended: 2.6 GHz CPU, 1 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD

The min is really 8gb, your forgetting the space you need to run it, compile, sql databases, etc that sort of thing.

The box (and MSDN) says 2.2GB, but that's probably for full install with the MSDN stuff.

Well, a very unscientific survey of my dev PC tells me it uses 1.67 Gb.

Depends which options you install, I suppose...

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0" is 700Mb on my machine with C++ and c# installed.
Figure a Gb with any stuff it's stuck somewhere else and MSDN.
