Are there old motherboards that have hard drive size limitations?

Really REALLY old ones? Yes. I believe 10GB was the max for my old P2 mobo, then again, I only had a 3.97GB HD :icon32:

Well here's the specs on my server: http://www.fragageddon.com/CPU/Server.htm
Just bought a 320GB hard drive.
Is there a way of hooking up a IDE hard drive to a computer running raid?

Old BIOSs (think 486 and older) cannot handle drives > 504 MB natively. There are some workarounds though.
