There's still a pretty big difference in price though (at least on the 
open market...not sure about list), so if you're not running into 
performance issues with NPE-300s, but need more RAM for BGP, how long til 
EOL the NPE-400 has is worth looking into.

I suppose people have tried putting larger dimms in NPE-300s with negative 
results?  Remember, the NPE-225 originally only "supported" 128MB, but 
worked with 256MB.
