The hardware requirements is primarily dictated by the bandwidth requirements. With such small bandwidth mostly any hardware (including most things one finds on the scrap yard these days) will work fine for Squid use. For good hit ratio you should design the system with about 1 weeks worth of Internet WWW traffic in cache size (see also the Squid FAQ on memory usage). Then tune refresh_pattern suitably to make Squid cache images and other "most often static" information more aggressively than default. REgards Henrik
