I thought you meant to type 12.7 rather than 127.
But, getting back to your previous message, you noted that there were
various limitations including: 540M, 2.1g, 8.?G and 127G. Assuming this
is true, and the fact that I currently have a 10G, then adding a 30G
should not prove to be a problem since I've already verified that I'm
not limited by the 8.?G limit?

Yeah, marketing measurements like monitors. (17" (15" viewable
screen...)).
