Re: [squid-users] Squid requirements

My most recent setup was on an old Compaq desktop server 1100mhz, 1gb
RAM (not sure of speed) with ~30gb cache on 10k rpm SCSI disks.

Squid was auth-ing against Samba using the winbind helper. No AV, but
dansguardian was used for content filtering. Performance was adequate
for ~100 users.
