Unfortunately you need a 265X to take 128MB of RAM, your 262X I believe can be
upgraded only up to 64MB. You basically aren't going to get one full BGP view
into that router.

If you're doing BGP only for redundancy, you can announce your routes to both
providers and equal-cost default-route outbound to both of them. You can ask
them to generate that default route or you can install static default routes.

If you're doing it for redundancy and performance, you could ask both providers
to send customer routes only. This would get you a few thousand routes from any
reasonably large provider, and that would make sure you select the best path to
that provider and its customers. You would then equal-cost default-route the
rest.
