    1. What is the maximum THEORETICAL harddrive capacity that can be installed with SZ3xx?

    2. The harddrive that comes with my SZ has Ultra ATA/100 interface. Is that the only type of interface that can be used with my SZ?

    3. Does Intel have any plan to release a CPU faster than 2.33 GHz that will work with SZ3xx motherboard?

    1. I'm not sure about the theoretical hdd capacity but I've seen an sz w/ 160gb hdd

    2. Newer SZ's definately have the SATA interface

    3. Proabably once santa rosa (centrino pro) comes out around april/may

    But Santa Rosa uses different socket and different FSB, right? I guess, my real question is does Intel have any plan to introduce Merom faster than 2.33 GHz?

    I'm pretty sure they won't.

    No...as mentioned, the next in line use the new sockets. Not even the rumored Core 2 Extreme for notebooks is going to fit in this socket... :(
