As usual, Microsoft always says like this... So we couldnt use it.... :(

Our squid works well over 128M mem, PII350Mhz, 8 GB IDE disk for our 80 PCs.
we are glad of squid performance. But If you will serve for more users than
1000. you should have more good configuration. Actually you may serve your
clients with any simple configuration.
But if we/you had been bigger ISP we/you should have used better
configuration..
Best regards,
