I was about ready to buy a 15 GB hard disk but then I read somewhere that I
should first make sure that my BIOS can handle a disk of that capacity.
My question is: could somebody give me a rough ceiling on hard drive
capacity that can be handled by this sytem:
Pentium II 300 MHz on an ASUS

Abraham, you should be fine. It was mostly 386/486 and first generation
pentium systems whos BIOS couldn't read hard drives larger then 504MB or
1 gig. Here's how you find out for sure:
Go to your setup BIOS and look at the options for your hard drives. You
should have CHS, Normal and LBA.

FYI
Yes, your bios need to be able to 'see' the new drive at boot up. Suggest
look at the top left corner of your monitor at boot up, you will see the
bios maker, version, and date displayed -
