Squid Proxy


How much RAM would be required to run Squid Proxy for a number of users?
I realise there is no exact answer but a rough guide?
For example, I have a linux proxy server with 100Mbit mainly retransmitting and caching running video (I assume about 512kbps).
I'm guessing this could support up to 100 users or so but would 1GB RAM be enough?
Server would be something like:
# CPU: Athlon 3800+
# CPU Details: 2 x 2.0 GHz
# RAM: 1 GB RAM
# Hard Disks: 2 x 160 GB (RAID 1 Software

Hello,

A while ago when looking for a reverse proxy I came across this site Squid Harware Requirements and found it very interesting. Might be exactly what you're looking for.

Kind regards,

Eric
