Shouldn't be a problem (well, assuming you haven't set up something 
really unexpected on the box). We still have several 1001 (will be 
migrating soon due to 10G requirements) running happily as border 
routers, one has something like 300-400 BGP links (v4+v6), of those two 
full feeds (v4 and v6; as well as dual internal links with additional 
external full feeds), all of that on 8G of memory ... with about 2.5G 
still free (out of the 4G the system leaves for actually running):
