How to tell how big an HD can be supported?
i am looking to buy a new internal HD for my pc, but I have no idea how to figure out how large an HD it can handle, where do I check? I'm using a dell dimension E520 with an updated bios running windows xp sp3, any ideas?

Most computers can handle any size hard drive, it all depends on high much space you need/want.

Since you are running WinXP SP3 you already have LBA support included with the OS. So it really is just a matter of your preferences for choosing the hard drive you want.
