Hi again!

I've finally found some info. It's been difficult because I
had to browse and read some pages (aghhh) before getting to
the right place. Searching did not get me the answer :(
 
| You could check the motherboard manufacturer site for the exact size
| of hdd that is supported but don't bet your house on it ;-)

and here it is for the archives, in case anyone reading this
is interested:

the Soyo 6vba133 supports up to 80 GB (caveat you might need
to have the latest BIOS installed)
http://www.soyousa.com/kb/kbdesc.php?id=28

For other Soyo motherboards the following link will get you
near the answer:
http://www.soyousa.com/support/assis_guide.php?answer_id=84

Now, you say I don't bet my house on it ... of course I
won't ... but what about $80 :) I what are the reasons to not
trust what the manufacturer says?

Thanks again,

Fernan
