[christopherojeda]

I am buying a new hard drive for an Asus P2B motherboard based on the Intel 440 BX chipset...Nothing in the manual or on the Asus site says what hte largest hard drive is that I can get...Please help me....Also if I buy an ATA100 will it work even though the chipset is for ATA 33??? Thanks Chris

I'm using a 60 GB Maxtor DMA-66 drive on a P2B (BIOS updated to version 1012), works great. I _believe_ the support for over 32 GB made the new limit around 130 GB, so 80's and 120's ought to work fine (if you've installed BIOS 1012 or -13).

You need BIOS version 1011A and above for support up to 128GB.
