Oversubscribing one or both of the busses by itself should not cause any 
drops.  It all depends on how much traffic you're pushing through the 
router.

Keep in mind that newer versions of code may disable cards that push a bus 
over its 600 bandwidth point limit.  The last time I had hands-on 
experience with a 7200VXR (2004) the router would complain that one or 
both busses exceed 600 BW points and that was about it.

Also keep in mind that if you call in a TAC case with a router in a setup 
where it's exceeding the 600-point-per-bus limit, Cisco may not provide 
support.
