Exactly, like you said, Upgrade to VXR cost lot of, and memory also...
therefore it is easyest way to upgrade just ram in NPE 200 to 256MB like
buying NPE 225 where 256MB is also !! not prooved or supported by Cisco...
Then is also an Idea to run on 3660 with 256MB ram, seems like is more
powerfull than NPE 200, the memory is not cheap also...but .. Just the
software is bit different about stability and features 'cos 7Xxx series was
the core routers time ago.... Sometimes I feel that 3660 is better solution
than 7206 VXR.... just the software and OIR ;)) the price is different. My
opinion is, that 7500 have sense ....and no 7206's... but everything is
about the price...

Actually it is important for people having non-VXR chassis, because the
NPE-225 is their only way to upgrade to more than 128 Mb RAM.
For some of us, a 7204/7026 is still ok for "full BGP", due not having
too high bandwidth requirements - we just need a way to go to 256 Mb RAM.
Upgrading to a 7206VXR/NPE-400 would be really nice, but is *quite*
costly...
