Re: [squid-users] price/performance

To add to that last point...

A summary of the hardware details of the entries can be found at
http://www.measurement-factory.com/results/public/cacheoff/N03/report.by-meas.html#Sec:Config

If you click on the names of the entries, that brings up the
more detailed hardware/software configuration info. That
should give you a better idea of the actual performance of
the system for some amount of hardware, rather than the list
prices the vendors provide.

Note that one of the Squid entries was non-commercial, so it
does have no cost added for software/support/packaging, etc -
it's just a pure hardware cost number. This entry was from the
Squid folks themselves (as opposed to a disinterested party
entering it).
