Thats fine. Just make sure you've either compiled Squid 64-bit or, if its
compiled 32-bit, you don't exceed whatever the system-wide process max size
is (2 or 3 gig, its system and kernel dependant.)

The rest of your RAM will be used for kernel disk/socket buffers and such;
that'll be good enough under your proposed load. You only need to up
cache_mem if your workload thrashes the memory cache.
