Not much. 50 average hosts aren't going to place a big load on Squid. A 486 with 24 to 32MB RAM could handle that with a small cache. Just keep in mind the bigger the cache you want, the more RAM you need. I've got a 20GB cache here and Squid alone can take 130MB RAM. You wouldn't want to swap, either. -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
