i am using a p3 1 gigahertz with a 36 gig scsi drive and 1 gig of ram for almost 500 users and that machine is way more than enough. i also have a smaller enviroment with a p3 733, 512 meg of ram and 20 gig ide drive that i just installed a few days ago and it seems to be working fine for about 120 users on average. i am running suse 7.3, kernel 2.4.18 and squid 2.4.stable6 on both machines. the processor will not be your bottleneck, the hard drive will. go scsi if you can, if not, get a separate disk for the cache dir preferably 7200 rpm, ata100 and use rieserfs with the notail and noatime mount commands.

Hi @ll,
have a lame question :
Is this Hardware enough for about 100 Users ( guessing less than 100 ) :
CPU => Intel PII 650 MHz RAM => 512 MB HDDs => IDE 13GB
