a 250gb drive will show up as 250gb as long as you use NTFS. Mobo acceptance can be found in your mobo manual.

a little blurb from MS

So long as all your hardware supports 48bit addressing, you will be fine as sp1 supports it.

You can't format a FAT32 drive larger than 32GB in Win2k/XP making file system choice a nonissue.

Under NFTS and 48-bit addressing maximum drive size is 2 TB...that's Terabytes.
