A lot of computers from that era can take drives over 8 GB. The next level is 80 GB / 137 GB.
I had a 1 GHz Athlon computer (I think it was a KT233 Northbridge?) that was supposed to be able to read up to 137 GB. it had problems with a 120 GB drive. An 80 GB drive worked fine.
Some no-name computers use name brand motherboards. If you can find a product number on the motherboard, it might be possible to find a product manual for it.
