Well, consider that with a site that is getting the insane traffic level
being tossed around here to really incur problems,  no pansy machine
will be able to handle it. For something that size, I'd reccomend an
Alpha processor powered machine, where there is essentially no file size
limit in Linux. Proces are quite comparative now, too.
