This is on a clean hard drive, formatted 2 days ago, and this was the first time
www.anandtech.com had been entered (so it was not in my cache yet). It took
6 seconds total for everything completely load and the IE bar to display "Done", but enough was loaded in 4 seconds that I was able to begin reading it.
I have 1500/128kb ADSL from SBC Yahoo.
I'm 70 miles south of St. Louis, Missouri, USA...so I'm neither Western or Eastern really. I'm in the middle.
Edit: I closed the window and tried again now that the page was in my cache, and it loaded completely in 4 seconds.
