That's a function of your BIOS more than anything else.  If you've got the
latest [c]fdisk and mke2fs, you shouldn't have any problems with it.  (You may
need to make multiple partitions out of it, but a lot of people say you should
split your system up across multiple partitions anyhow.  I've got a 17Gb drive
in this machine, and setting it up was a breeze, although mke2fs choked when
I tried to make a 17Gb partition, so it's set up as an 8Gb and a 9Gb
instead...)
