HELP: ASUS P5A BIOS Ver 1007A

[Blackjack1]

Does anyone know the largest hard drive that this BIOS will support. Can't get any info from ASUS site. Would like to but a 7200RPM ATA 100 30GB or 45GB, but am in dark if these drives will work. Tks for help.

Why not up grade the computer?

That board is outdated for todays standards.
Are you running a 200mmx,233mmx,or what?

Those systems were great back in the day.

Have you purchased the HDD yet?
You could always try it.
I have had the WD 10.2gb in several of mine here.
They work fine with the factory bios.

Good Luck.
Please post your findings. You have me interested.

I am running a AMD P6 2/500. Have not upgraded, waiting for falling prices.

Thanks Scotter for your help.
