I currently have two, but they're both running low on space so I'm planning to buy a new one. How can I check the maximum amount of hard drives my PC can have internally?

My motherboard - GeForce6100PM-M2 V2.0
 
Solution
It can hold up to 6 internal harddrives:

2 ATA and 4 SATA devices.
You can consider adding USB harddrives, or even better replacing your current harddrives by bigger ones.

Solution
Also open the case to determine how many drive bays are available. I was working on a friend's machine recently and his case only had two 3 1/2" hard drive bays. If you've got 5 1/2" drive bays available you'll need to buy a 5 1/2" to 3 1/2" adapter for the new drive.
