Squid is quite HDD intensive so I wouldn't virtualize it. It also
benefits from all the memory you can give it.

If you're going to have a lot of rules then CPU should also be taken
into account: high frequency and high QPI.

For starters: get very fast drives (SAS with high RPM) and all the RAM
you can (1333 MHz).
