Just been to pc world to get another 5gb, but the guy sed they only sell 20gb @ £50 but it would only register @ 8gb on my machine? does this seem right?

Personally I would have thought it's unlikely a P150 wouldn't support LBA to support 8gb plus.
I have a P166 as a firewall here and it's happily using a 20Gb drive...
Check with your motherboard manual or check their website...

if its running in FAT16 mode or your motherboard doesnt support LBA, which seein by the spec it dont, it wont register any more than around 8gb.
