Maximum Hard Drive Size on older Motherboard ?

Hi. I have an old linux 2.4 box on an Abit BX6r2 (440BX) motherboard, PII-450,
UDMA/33. Can I buy a new 500GB or 750GB ATA-100 HD and use the full drive
even if the motherboard bios is probably limited to 120 gb (this is what I've
read)?

I've been web searching, and LBA-48 related comments come up, but I don't know
if this will be a limit or not. I can't find a definitive answer.

Thanks!
