If the bios on the motherboard won't support the larger drives, an  easy
cure is a PCI ATA 100 or 133 card from Promise.  They run about $40.00 or
less and let you put up to 4 drives of any almost any size in an older PC.
I bought a Maxtor 180g drive last year and this card came in the package.
Hooked it up with a pair of 180 drives and used the machine for NLE video
editing.  My son Jeff captured 20+ hours of video on those drives and edited
it down to a 46 minute TV show.

No need to buy a new computer for those larger drives.......by the way the
old limit is not 120G, but something like 134G.

Very much an 'it depends'. My Dell Dimension 4550 breaks the barrier out of
the box.  Single partition (if you want).
