And the grow rate is one more per month or 100? Anyway, I have very good results with AMD64 4000+ or better AMD 4200 X2 or better with FreeBSD-AMD64 as transparent proxy on networks from 300 - 600 endusers. For 400+ you should go for X2 or Dual-Opteron. This AMDs are very much faster than P4 and still cheaper. You should consider 2GB of RAM or better 4 which is supported on most cheap MBs. You should go for SCSI. With such configurations you can get 20-40% more out of your upstream link but this depends lot on user habits.
