If you go for engine2 linecards you most likely have to disable ACL 
capability to be able to fit the full IPv4 table in FIB.

Really, if you're going to do this, go for at least PRP-1 with 1 gig of 
ram and the engine 3 (4GE) linecard. The GRP-B doesn't even get new IOS 
versions anymore, they've stopped releasing updates for it. PRP-1 and 4GE 
linecard is still supported, even if the 12008 chassis is not.
