PowerBook - Hard Drive Upgrade

I would like to upgrade the 80GB hard drive in my Powerbook G4 1.5 GHZ. I am running the newest version of Leopard. I have heard from some that my lappy can only "see" 120GB or less hard drives. Is this true or is the sky the limit as far as far my upgrading goes?

No you're not restricted that size. On eBay there are 250GB and even 320GB hard drives. Here's the link:

Well I can say for certain that a 160 GB drive will work, as I have one in my 12" PowerBook G4, 1.33 GHz, which is older than yours..

Any of those hard drives I have listed to him that are for sale on eBay will work as well.
