    I've already outgroen the smaller hard drive I got when I ordered my Z81K, and am looking at what is available is big capacities. There's up to 160GB it seems for notebook drives, with a 200GB coming later this year. I've also seen someone on another site mention that a lot of notebooks max out at 137GB.

    Does anyone know the max capacity for Z81K can handle? If I get the 160GB, even if there is some limitation, will it be used up to that limitation safely?

    Thanks!

    Is the Z81K Pentium M? I believe it can only go up to 120GB. However I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time :p).

    Z81k is AMD64. The Z81Sp is the PentiumM/4 (can't remember which) version.

    yes, a80k, z81K only suport AMD Athlon 64 Mobile, the case look is the same with A2H and z80k. z81sp support P4 desktop cpu.Of course, i believe that it can support more than 100GB even 120GB. If the BIOS is outdated, to upgrade it should delected a bigger capacity.
