The sky is the limit.  Many of the new super sized hard drives bundle a
new controller to overcome hardware limitations.  I have an old P120
computer with a 160GB hard drive.  It uses its full capacity and speed
just as well as a brand new computer possibly could.  No special software
needed.  In fact, I took an old Slackware floppy to install linux on it.  
I am writing this email on said computer!

The new controller even let me work with my old 1.2GB drives too...
