What is the maximum hard drive size for an Intel Pentium III computer?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
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).

∙ 11y agoI 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

∙ 14y ago64 GB is the limit of the processor (36 address bits), but most likely the motherboard/chipset supports less than that.

∙ 14y agoIts 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.

What statistics does a Dell Dimension Pentium have?
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.
Can you play Medal of Honor allied assault with these computer stats Intel Pentium dual-core processor E2140 1024mb of memory 320gb hard drive Intel graphics media accelerator 950?
obviously you can and on max settings
With an Intel Pentium III processor at 750 MHz a 20 GB hard drive and 128 MB of RAM can you make your computer faster with an external hard drive and use a USB Flash drive as RAM?
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.
Is it easy to partition the Intel Pentium T3200 laptop so I can use the Vista system for some things and an older Windows system for other functions?
Yes, you can partition the Acer Extensa Intel Pentium DualCore laptop, but it will affect your hard drive space.
Why doesn't my Intel Pentium II computer support a 60 GB hard drive?
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.
Can you install a 640 GB hard disk on an Intel D945GCPE motherboard?
Yes. Any computer manufactured since 2002, including the Intel D945GCPE, can support a theoretical maximum of 144 petabytes (144 million gigabytes) per drive.
Why doesn't my Intel Pentium III at 450 MHz support an 80 GB hard 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.
Why Intel Pentium 3 doesnt support 80gb hard disk?
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.
Can you play The Sims 3 on Windows 2000 SP4 with an Intel Pentium III 256 MB of RAM and a 24 GB 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
What are the technical specs of the Dell Inspiron 1300?
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.
Will a DVD burner work on a computer with an Intel Pentium II processor?
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
Which is better an Intel Pentium 4 or an Intel Pentium Dual-Core?
They are the exact same technology, so one is not actually "better" than the other. Intel Pentium Dual-Cores use the same architecture as the Intel Core 2 Duo, just with a smaller L2 cache size. This makes the Dual-Core slightly slower in intensive applications than a Core 2 Duo at the same clock speed. A Pentium Dual-Core will still outperform a Core 2 Duo of a lower clock rate. Pentium D's are older Core 2's renamed to promote newer CPU's.
