Hi there! 🙂
I was wondering if there is a limit on my Motherboard regarding how large of a hard drive I can use. I'm thinking about picking up a new drive for my old computer, which currently only has a 9GB hard disk. I was hoping to grab an 80GB one, or maybe a 20GB if that's more realistic—but if neither will work, could someone let me know what the maximum capacity is? Here are my specs:
