    I have a Dell4100 PenIII 933/133mhz 384mb 20gb WinME. I want to add more hd. Dell tschs tell me they do not support 2hds in the same system. Also I could not install more than 80gb HD and still have their full support. Do think my system would support more than the 80gb?? Please advise me ODIE :)

    it most likely can ... but you will probably need to find a hard drive mounting kit as im sure it only came with space to put one hdd in ... there also should be no problems as far as the size of the drive, the only problems ive heard of is where you have a drive larger than 137GB ... the important thing is to find out whether your primary IDE channel will accept 2 devices, im guessing it will, but even if it doesn't you can always get an IDE PCI card like this:
