Depends if you want to boot off the disk or not. I found I was unable to boot from my 34gb disk, but that I could mount it and use it just fine in Linux after booting from another disk.
It *should* be possible to boot from it, as long as the boot partition is near the start of the disk (for some value of "near").

Yup, but it limits the size of your first partition to be whatever the BIOS supports. Although that's not a problem because we all do The Right Thing(tm) and have small (~10mb) boot partitions, don't we? ;-)
