Articles on SQL Server capacity

I have been doing some reading for a project comparing various RDBMS and I
have read that SQL Server is not very stable for DBs over 300GB but I have
also read about terrabyte-plus databases running just fine. Are there any
recommendations or articles from Microsoft about the capacity of SQL Server
(2000 or 2005)?

Sounds like either advocacy or marketing misinformation. I have worked
on and know of many SQL Server databases that are much larger. Equally,
bad design or improper hardware can defeat a database of any size.
