Motherboards and HD capacity limitations

numaios · 29th September 2004, 21:18

Hello to everyone!

I've got an Asus motherboard (A7V266-E with VIA KT266A chipset) and I'd like to know if I can use, for example, a 200 Gb hard disk, because the user's manual doesn't say anything about this.

I also want to know if I can use a serial ATA 150 hard disk or if I can only use a ATA100 hard disk.

Thank you very much!

For that mobo, you can go up to 80GB for certain, more I don't know. I don't think your mobo supports SATA
