> 3 fullBGP feeds for 2800 series is a bit too much I think, even for 2851. I'd vote for 3845 box. Besides - it has nice built-in additional features (what you probably wouldn't need) like VPN accelerator. Some tests, like miercom.com show that 3845 boxes can route up to 1Gig of traffic ;)

The 2851 can take 1 GB of RAM, which is more than enough for 3 full views.
To determine whether you need something bigger than the 2851, look at the
pps and Mbps you need to handle.
