Technically, transferring from/to RAM, yes. But how fast can your HD put it away/retrieve it? How much time overhead is involved in crunching that stuff into/out of IP packets? Of course, there isn't a DSL line in the world that actually transfers anything at 9 Mbps, either, except in a lab. A 1 or 2 MB actual transfer rate is fine. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
