You should be fine up to about 500GB.
Most of these boards are quite compatible with modern day stuff.
Just chuck in a 320gb.

Did you look at the manual for that motherboard?

It says it will run 2 hard drives but you may need a cale with 3 plugs, (mobaord, HD1, HD2). Does your present parralell cable have plug in"s for 2 HD's?
You may also want to install a SATA HD instead of Parralell. SATA is faster (serial).
I also would recomend a larger HD than 80GB.
