   It will do it with drive manager software (yuckie)....but natively
for a 1997 BIOS? 2 GB reigned supreme and I wonder if that BIOS will see
bigger than 6.4 GB. It might surprise me, but my other question is why
pump big bucks into that machine's HD when it is only a P120? The
customer would be better off getting a newer motherboard and faster
chip...a 120 used to be fast, but it's a toad nowadays.

Good luck!
