I think the 50MB file is from the hard drive. You would really need a BIG
pipe for it to load fast from a web site.
T-1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines) Ave. cost $1,200./mo.
T-3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T1s) Ave. cost $28,000./mo.
OC-3 - 155 megabits per second (100 T1s) Ave. cost $49,000./mo.
OC-12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s) no est. price available
OC-48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s) no est. price available
OC-192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s) no est. price available
I do suggest getting lots of memory now. Access is much faster with w2k as
much data/programs are gotten from the cache the 2nd & nth times around. As
well, editing photos is much faster.
