Question Storage vs. Motherboard
I bought a Dell (Laugh it up) about a year ago and decided to finally put in a larger hard drive

My computer specs are:
Motherboard: Intel D845GLVA
Processor: Pentium 4 2.8GHz
Harddrive: Dell 40 GB
BIOS: Dell A03

I bought a brand new internal Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 16MB cache 300GB Ultra ATA/100
Model-ST3300631A

Could you please tell me if the motherboard/BIOS would support the 300GB or limit it to 137 GB???

Thanks

A drive that age should support way more then 300GB.

LBA 48 is many years old now, and I doubt there is a board available in the last 3 years that didn't support it (Maybe older)
Just make sure you have SP1 if your running XP.
