For data to exist in RAM, does it not also have to exist on the hard drive in some fashion also? Browser buffer caches, windows dlls, shared libraries, all are loaded into ram, but also exist on the HD. It's just a load and unload process. Tracking what goes in and out of RAM is simply a matter of auditing HD access. Not brain surgery. Right?
All bandwidth is not created equal. The quality this business is getting with a T1 connection is orders of magnitude better than whatever he'd be getting with a cable modem. Even business class cable modems will still have to fight through the residential traffic at some point before getting out to the internet.
