Will a Systemax BIOS ver 2.0 be able to handle a Maxtor 80gig drive?

I have to get a new hard drive due to a crash. I had a 60gig drive, but want to get an 80gig Maxtor 7200 2mb drive. My bios ver is 2.0 from Systemax. This version should be ok for the new drive, right?

Thanks
 
Check out their website - but I'd expect it to handle 80 if it can handle 60 (have heard of 64GB limits on bioses - but never seen one, and think they're uncommon - 32 and 128 are common limitations - so I'd expect yours to handle at least up to 128).
 
Thanks for the info! I will check it out. I figured it would be able to handle it, but I wanted to make sure.
