both should be enough, however I'd advise a bit more RAM for both cases,
expecially if you are going to do more than just proxying there.

The CPU is not that important, unless you have large ACL lists and can't
optimize them, or don't do _hard_ content filtering.

I'd prefer the first configuration and it should be enough for squid and
filters too.
