The BIOS of virtually all Pentium III computers is limited to 128 GiBs (a 137 GB hard drive). While you can put any size hard drive you like in the system, Windows will only be able to see 128 GiB of it. Linux should be able to address all of it, as it does not use the BIOS to access the hard drive.
You can bypass this limitation by installing a new IDE / PATA controller in an available PCI slot. Although this will increase the time it takes to boot the system slightly, it will allow you to use all available hard drive space in Windows XP (SP1 and later) and Windows 2000 (SP4).
I have ever used a 250GB IDE HDD. It may not works perfectly fine. Since When in DOS or FAT32 doesn't support partition with size of more than 200GB.So, make more partition. And if you want fully partition the HDD, use NTFS and WinXP. You'll have to be more clever than usual ways in using PC with these sizes of HDD.
320GB HDDs may work also in the highest spec of Pentium III Motherboards.
I used an ASUS P3B-F motherboard
64 GB is the limit of the processor (36 address bits), but most likely the motherboard/chipset supports less than that.
Its likely to be new enough not to suffer from the 137gb bios limit so 2TB for the boot partition and 256TB maximum size. You can't get drives anywhere near this big.

Some of the specifics of a Dell Dimension Pentium computer include 2 GB of RAM, and 8 Gig hard drive and an Intel Pentium processor. This is classified as a gaming machine and also includes an extreme graphics controller.
obviously you can and on max settings
No. The USB 1.1 found on a Pentium III system is far slower than the memory or IDE bus. You would be better served by upgrading your RAM.
Yes, you can partition the Acer Extensa Intel Pentium DualCore laptop, but it will affect your hard drive space.
All chipsets used with the Pentium II support up to at least 127 GB hard drives. You probably either have LBA support disable in your BIOS,or your BIOS is buggy and needs to be updated.
Yes. Any computer manufactured since 2002, including the Intel D945GCPE, can support a theoretical maximum of 144 petabytes (144 million gigabytes) per drive.
The processor has nothing to do with how large a hard drive is supported. Most Pentium III-era motherboards / BIOSes support up to 137 GB hard drives. You have thus likely not installed the drive correctly.
Depending on your computer's BIOS, it might support or not a 7200RPM hard disk drive. Usually a Pentium 3 should support 7200RPM hard disks. I personally own a 800MHz Pentium 3 with a 160GB ATA hard drive and it worked without updating the BIOS(last updated in February 2000). So, a Pentium 3 should support newer hard drives but make sure your BIOS is at least from 1999 or 2000 since I don't think a 1995 or 1996 BIOS can handle a 7200RPM hard drive.
no you cant play it on that hard drive but there are solutoins 1) Is to get a new computer 2) Get a new hard drive 3) Get a lot of add ons number one would cheaper as you would have to refdo the whole computer for optoin two and three
The Dell Inspiron 1300 is a laptop computer sold by Dell. It includes a 15.4" monitor, 512MB of RAM, 60GB hard drive disc space, Intel Pentium Processor and comes installed with Windows.
It doesn't matter so much about the processor, what you need is the correct software driver for the burner. Find out the exact make and model of the burner then go to the Intel site (because they make both the Pentium and Celeron processors) and see if they have the driver for this burner. If they do, just download the driver software and off you go. Phil
You can reuse the hard drive and CD drive, but they may be too small / too slow for your needs. You will need a new case (Pentium 4s need more airflow through the case), a new motherboard, new RAM, and a new power supply. If you use IDE drives in your new system, you can reuse the cables; if SATA, you will need SATA cables.
