The 1GE and 3GE linecards won't give you new features anyway, as they 
don't really have many features to begin with. The 3GE linecard (engine 2) 
is already at current ~230k internet routes, out of cisco recommendation 
of ~200k regarding amount of routes. It still works, but needs to be 
monitored.

Regarding the G2 I guess you can expect somewhere around a gigabit/s of 
aggregate throughput if you want capacity to spare, perhaps a bit less.
