Re: 486 with a large HDD

[Jeffrey Yep <jyep@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is that possible?!! Are you saying that my 486 can handle a HDD with 
thatmuch memory? Or do I have to add on some other hardware like extra RAM 
etc.? Please tell me.

Thanks,
Jeff

P.S. So I don't necessarily have to change my chip processor and motherboard 
to handle a HDD of say 6.5 GB(I was planning to get a AMD k6 processor and I 
was told that I have to change my motherboard for it)
