.... I have a 933 MHz PIII (this box, as it happens), running SuSE 8.2 
Personal. The box has an Asus CUV4X-E S370 (PIII) mbd, with a 10 GB HDD 
mounting root (/) & swap partitions, and a 20 GB HDD mounting /home. I 
want to upgrade the 20 GB to something larger. I have had 1st hand 
problems w/ boards from that era being limited in the size of HDD they 
could use (often limited to 33.4 GB HDD's). The solution was usually to 
flash the BIOS w/ an upgraded BIOS from the manufacturer. I haven't 
looked, but I doubt anything is still available from Asus for this 
board. The question (finally) is: Does anyone know 1st hand if this 
board has any limitations on the size of HDD it can accomodate ? I did 
read the manual & it was mum about such limitations. I also goggled 
'Asus CUV4X-E HDD size limitations' & only saw references to a ~131 GB 
limitation. TIA for your time.
