Deskpro SFF 600p by
Patty
I have an older Deskpro SFF system. Model #ENS/P600/13b/9/64c. It uses
the Intel 810e chipset. BIOS ROM is 686J1 v2.10. I'm wondering what is
the largest hard drive it can use? Currently it has a Seagate 13GB HD. Is
it subject to the 32GB limit? Does anyone know? Thanks much.
