Anybody knows how to find a free bios upgrade for my motherboard: PT-2003 (AWARD)? I'd like to brake the 8GB barrier

Since I don't know what version you have search for PT-2003 in google and you get a ton of links to peruse.
Things you'll need to know. BIOS String: viewable when booting computer, usually. Similar in format of 00-82435nc-938247...Also may be near the AWARD logo. May also include, date and version.
Lastly, most Hard Drive manufacturers include a "smart" or "easy" bios to adapt larger HDs to systems that don't support it.
