Paging query without using stored procedure

Hello, my table is clustered according to the date. Has anyone found an efficient way to page through 16 million rows of data? The query that I have takes waaaay too long. It is really fast when I page through information at the beginning but when someone tries to access the 9,000th page sometimes it has a timeout error. I am using sql server 2005 let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks

I am also thinking about switch datavase software to something that can handle that many rows. Let me know if you have a suggestion on a particular software that can handle paging through 16 million rows of data.
