[c-nsp] Comparison, 7500/7200 vlaned to 6500 or SUP with MSFC running IOS on 6500?

[Dan Benson]

I have a bunch of 7500/7200's running in the field connected to 6509's 
with VLANs between them.  In these configurations, I am running OSPF, 
BGP, and NAT.  I am thinking about buying new supervisors for the 6500's 
and some VIP carriers to merge these two boxes.  My questions:  
Processing power and memory on the SUP720's?  Is it enough to do what I 
need in this configuration?  On the 75/7200's I have 256MB ram on the 
NPE or RSP's, with the MAX of 128/256 on the VIPs for the 7500 series 
routers.  I would like to have the ability to run 512MB or RAM on the 
SUP's.   Will CEF work correctly with my current linecards?  Thanks for 
the insight.. //db
