Midnight BMI download times

[stuart <stuart@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Presently, using Win98 on a 450 PII, 128  meg ram, 10,000 rpm cheetah HD
with adaptec scuzzi, the midnight download from BMI satellite takes about
20 minutes and prevents multi-tasking during that time.

Does anyone have experience using Win NT with a workstation using dual
Pentiums and lots of ram (256/512 or more), as to the time it  takes for
the download to complete?  I know multi-tasking would not be affected
using NT, but was more curious as to the performance increases possible
by going to the workstation setup, now that P3 550's and 600's are
available.

Regards,

Stuart
