The documented maximum is 128M. You'd need someone with a compatible
256M DIMM (registered, ECC) and a NPE-225 to see that's an actual
architectural limitation or Cisco being coy.
Obvsiouly, there'd be a market for NPE-275 in the same performance
ballpark but without the memory limitations, but it would be at the
expense of new VXR sales, so holding your breath is probably not
indicated...
