| 157801 | 2003-07-06 05:39:00 | My friend wants to get a new hard drive for his computer (early Pentium, with 32mb RAM). Would a standard ATA100/133 20GB hard drive work in his computer? It's running Win95 with USB support. |

| 157802 | 2003-07-06 06:05:00 | Yes, but only at the data transfer speed that the IDE controller on the motherboard will handle, not ATA100. If the BIOS wont support that size of drive, then an "overlay" utility program should be downloadable from the manufactures website to enable a larger drive. |
