http://www.deckle.co.za/squid-users-guide/Installing_Squid On my side, I run Squid on a HP VL420 P4 1.8 or 2.1ghz, 768meg of ram, 20gig Seagate IDE Hard Drive for approximatly 125 users. The maximum load, that I got, is .70 (1 minute). My CPU peak sometimes at 40% but most of the time, it's running most of the time at idle. I have a peak time at lunch time and break. My average CPU is approximatly at 5% and peak at 40%. I saw a 50-60% and a load at .90 at the beginning when I had some problem with my Apple computer and the NTLM Auth. (I still had this problem but I did a bypass for my apple computer) If I compare with my current setup, for an another 150 users, probably 1-1.5 gig of Ram is important and probably changing my Seagate IDE HardDrive for a SCSI 10k-15k rpm U160 or U320.
