Not sure what the largest drive is, I can do some checking. It could be up to 30
gig as far as the BIOS goes, but not much more I would expect. This board on my
bench won't run in DMA on XP either, but it will on Win 2000 so you might want to
check that in your device manager as POI mode slows it down quite a bit. I only
have a 10 gig Maxtor on this one. (Client doesn't want it upgraded). I didn't see
any specs as to the updated BIOSes on HD size updates.. I would say, save your money..
I will see what I can find out. If you really want to get a newer BIOS that will
support up to 60 I believe, check out (www.mrbios.com) but on this board, which was
a good board in it's day, it's not worth putting much money into. You might try
the BETA bios from the Asus website. C K
