ATA6, no limit on size if you're running XP/ntfs. 30GB, 40GB, 60GB, or 80GB drives were standard in it.

Thanks. I see it now. It is ATA. I see standard HDD is up to 80GB but what is max? 120? 160?

There is no max. It will take the largest 9.5mm laptop ATA-6 drive that you can buy.

Thanks. It is clear now for me. I'm getting Hitachi 100GB 7200PRM.
