Default P3BF Asus Drive question

Hi,

Does anyone know how large a drive can a P3BF Motherboard take. 80G, 120G,
40G, etc...

I have a 30G and it works fine. I need more space. I could put a second
30G, but this is not what I want.

Steve

120 GB is fine - you might newest BIOS though.

I don't think it'll accept larger disks than 120 GB - although I'm not
sure about that.

It's just a matter of style. You can't fake it!

When I had my p3bf I used 120 GIG harddrive -- as long as you have the right
ATA controller and the limiting pin on the drive is set correctly it should
be able work with 120 or even higher -- RTFM to be sure
