With the SIIG UATA/100/133 card *and* that firmware which implements 48-bit LBA, there is no practical limit to the size of the HD. 300 GB 7200 rpm drives are available now, and 300 GB 5400 rpm drives were available about 6 months ago. I'm guessing the mext major step could be 450 GB, but I could be wrong. Perhaps 375 GB. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
