I haven't used Squid, but I thought that Squid uses Hard Disk space to caching.<br>
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.<br>

by 2 or 3 and the 3rd one creating a swap with 512 MB to 1 Gig. On my<br>scenario, wherein im going to use the system for caching, which one is more<br>applicable?</blockquote><div><br>
I think 1 Gig is sufficient. Relaying on the fact that you'll use your hard drive to caché all the squid info.<br>
<br>
Anyway, 1 Gig is the right option in my view.<br>
