Hi all:
        I'm using a Sun 450 Entreprise server machine with 128 MB ram, 2
GB for squid and a 100 MB FastEthernet Nic directly connected to our
10/100 3com Switch. This machine don't use the swap partition, but I want
to increase the responsiness of the machine. (explaining: the machine is
hited by ~1000 machines... so the disk is always pumping) I want to know
what can improve the machine another 128MB of ram of a second processor
just to bound it to the squid process. I need your advice since the memory
upgrade cost ~$2K and the second processor ~$2.5 on my country. Then I
want to choose the best option!
Any comment is welcome!

TIA,
Best Regards
