Speed shouldn't be a problem. Whether 8GB is enough depends on what  else
you're installing. My system has a 10GB root partition which is 80% full,
but I run Gentoo which chews up a couple of gig in package management. If
you're using a distro with binary packages and only running Myth I think
you'll be fine with 8GB.

Cheers,
Steve
