     How many hits do you expect to be getting per day seems to
     be the main criteria.
     
     (Assuming advertisement on radio and television quite a
     few. Not really sure.)
     
     If your content is mainly static (yes it is) then your
     hardware could easily handle the 100 000 plus setting.
      
     (this would be connections correct?)
     
     In the Performance tab of your web site choose the 100 000 plus setting. NOTE: This may not be the right setting see below.
     
     I would not bandwith or CPU throttle either, unless there
     is some compelling reason to do so.
     
     (This left on the unlimited setting Correct?)
    
    Just leave the options to CPU and bandwith throttle UNCHECKED in the Performance tab. Unless you are going to get 100 000 hits trying to download a multi megabyte file? That might slow things down a bit compared to displaying a 10-20kb HTML file.

    Its really worth downloading the microsoft web applications stress testing tool and running windows performance monitor to see what sort of bottlenecks your site may generate, regards memory, bandwith, disk use etc...

    Stress test tool.
