the line card FIBs support 1m ipv4-sized slots.  If you use ipv6 / mpls / 
l3vpn / IGPs / L2 / etc, all entries in these will take up one or more 
slots.  So yes, 1m ipv4 prefixes will generally not be enough to run a DFZ 
of 1m prefixes.

This is the usual disclaimer for statements of the form: "my FIB supports X 
prefixes".
