I would think any board which would support an AMD 800 would be good to at
least 4 gig, maybe signifcantly more.

Even if the BIOS doesn't support a 32 GB drive, you can buy an IDE
controller PCI card which will support the drive. These cards have
their own BIOS like an SCSI card. I would think any Athlon board
should be good to at least the next highest limit which is around 100
GB. I've never had any trouble with 60GB drives on a variety of older
motherboards.
