Just searching for some different keywords I noticed most the the top sites are about 20k. I have heard conflicting views on the issue of file size effecting page rank. I have heard google only looks at the first 100k of a site, and that you do not want to design a site more than 20k. However, 20k of data will not produce a very attractive site.
So my question is: If I am building a site that is 200k, will it be search engine friendly? I am trying to do it all css/gif/jpg, but would incorporating some of it in Flash cut down on the file size as far as Google is concerned?

Google will only look at the 100k of the html file that it reads. This excludes linked files such as images, flash, external css files, etc.

A useful tip:
See WebmasterWorld's 26 step guide, rule #C http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm . You want to make sure text outweighs HTML
