I'm not running any squid machines in production now (only in VM's to test), but I were to 'go physical', I would have the same question.. All the servers I usually buy have either one or two quad core cpu's, so it's more the question: will 8 cores perform better than 4? If not, I would be wiser to buy a single Xeon X5460 or so, instead of 2 lower clocked cpu's, right? -- Met vriendelijke groet, Angelo Höngens
