Look down in the similar threads for your answer. File size varies. Mine is 3.71 GB, -imaged, with all chapters, EotN, and BMP. Another thread on this here:

It depends on if it's fragmented or not, it can be really huge if it's too fragmented, as I remember my .dat file being around 6 GB :\

Edit: Right now mine's 3.59GB or 3.86GB depending on how you look at it.

You can check it yourself, dude. just look in your guild wars folder.

I -image and defrag my gw.dat with contig after every update and mine is currently 3.70 gb. Hope that helps.

I had to delete mine yesterday due to faulty animations and glitches (when I did a /sit, my character would do a /boo).

Brand new, imaged gw.dat - full content - 3.56GB (or 3,741,777 KB if you like that sort of thing).
