It's a software limit. I only started running into the problem 2 
years ago when I was still trying to stay on 7.6.1 on my 
PowerComputing clone and I had to goto 8.6 :-)

I've only heard of problems with big disks on older macs, I've never seen it.

>The 4GB limit is not a limit for the disk, only for each partition.
>You can install a 48GB disk and simply mount 12 partitions. :P
>Keep in mind, however, that earlier systems had a lower limit.
>I think 7.1 might have a limit of 1GB (it might be 2BG). Was it
>7.5 which first pushed it to 4GB?
