Ruben,
If the BIOS of the system allows for booting from and reading of GPT
layouts on a hard drive, you should be able to stick a >2TB drive into it
and use it with a GPT layout. MBR uses 32 bits for LBA and is limited to
2TB drives, whereas GPT uses 64 bits, allowing for much higher capacities.
Some older machines may choke on larger drives. Your mileage may vary,
though. As for OS support, both 32 and 64-bit Linux, the BSDs, OS X, and
64-bit Winbloze all boot from GPT drives.
