Well, I press the wrong button and I guess I have to write this all over again. Anyway, I am plannig to buy this week a used Intel D815EEA motherboard. I found out in Intel's site that this board supports up to 512 Mb ram and 1.0 Ghz processor, but I did not found anything about the HD. I will like to install a 80Gb HD but want to be sure it is supported by this board.
I will appreciate any help, thanks.

Re: Intel D815EEA motherboard HD support
An 80GB hard drive should work just fine. Since you are buying a used board be sure to check that the BIOS installed on it is the latest, so you get all the bug fixes you need. Here is a link to BIOS Update P11, which is said to be the most recent for your board.
I looked around the web and found a bunch of people using 60GB drives, so 80GB should be fine. You'll be limited by the Ultra ATA/66 interface though, so don't expect high levels of performance!
