I haven't used Squid, but I thought  that Squid uses Hard Disk space to
caching.
Maybe you can use RAM, but in Squid config you must specify what quantity of
hard disk memory and how much time it can store the cached info.

I think 1 Gig is sufficient. Relaying on the fact that you'll use your hard
drive to caché all the squid info.

Anyway, 1 Gig is the right option in my view.
