[c-nsp] Burned up 2790

[Dale W. Carder]

You can mix & match 3750 boxes and stack up to 9 of them together into 
a virtual chassis.  The newer 3750X platform even has field replaceable 
parts. 

For your 2970, take a hard look at the capacitors.  They are of a vintage
when there was considerable problems across the industry:

The thing appeared to have some sort of trouble earlier in the day with it interrupting routing briefly between some routers but then it settled down, dying later all of a sudden. No smoke, opening the box shows nothing scorched, and I'm just beside myself trying to figure out what can be done. I would love to be able to justify a 6500 for the redundancy features and plug in card archetecture, but I'm comfortably working within the 24 gige ports and 4 sfp's of the 2970. Is there anything between the 6500 and 2970 that gives me the redundancy of the 6500 with the smaller form factor of the 2970? I an justify spending more since I can't deal with the downtime of a critically important switch going down, I just need some pointers on what to look for.
