I can confirm that 256/256 works fine with 3 BGP Full-peers + public
peering for us.  The ONLY difference between our setups are that we are
running GRP-B/IOS gsr-k4p-mz.120-32.SY10.bin - Which is the final one
for the GRP (Time to upgrade!)


  FRU:  Linecard/Module: 3GE-GBIC-SC=
        Processor Memory: MEM-GRP/LC-256=
        Packet Memory: MEM-LC1-PKT-256=

#execute-on slot 2  show proc mem | i Free
========= Line Card (Slot 2) =========
Processor Pool Total:  189351488 Used:  119945424 Free:   69406064

One other thing I would look at is if you are running ANY sort of IPv6
on that card.  Engine 2 cards puke at any sort of ipv6 throughput - I
got that from this mailing list a few months or so ago..


Hope this helps..
