I don't have any NPE-400s, but that can't be right.

cisco 3640 (R4700) processor (revision 0x00) with 125952K/5120K bytes of
memory.
Processor board ID 07990909
R4700 CPU at 100Mhz, Implementation 33, Rev 1.0

cisco 7206VXR (NPE300) processor (revision D) with 229376K/65536K bytes of
memory.
Processor board ID 23653598
R7000 CPU at 262Mhz, Implementation 39, Rev 2.1, 256KB L2, 2048KB L3 Cache

I'd definitely go for the VXR.  The 7206/NPE-200 platform is too limiting.
Not enough CPU for what the original poster wants, and limited to 128mb
RAM, so no full BGP capability.
