Rumor has it that the upcoming RSP720 for 7600 series has 1.3GHz MSFC4 
which supports 4GB of DRAM, as well as a PFC3C/XL. The white faceplate 
looks pretty fugly though, won't go well with the existing 7600 color 
scheme at all. :)

Supposedly you should be able to buy just the MSFC4 and upgrade your 
existing SUP720s. No word on if the upcoming SUP720-10G includes it or 
not, but it does include the PFC3C/XL.

And no you don't need an NDA or an inside source for that info, Google 
indexes the craziest things if you look hard enough. :)
