That question's not only off-topic, but ridiculous ...

... I'll play Socrates by asking you this:  how well would you be able to 
solve a maths problem if I kept ripping up the paper on which you were 
writing?

>11GB would be COOL!...or is it?

IIRC, EIDE has a limit around 8.4Gb; newer extensions to EIDE may have 
increased that limit, but I'm not sure.  To get 11Gb on a single HDD, you 
might very well have to go SCSI, but even THEN...
