Correct, a J2320 can have 2 GB of RAM:

Routing Engine status:
    Temperature                 39 degrees C / 102 degrees F
    CPU temperature             40 degrees C / 104 degrees F
    DRAM                      2048 MB
    Memory utilization          52 percent
    CPU utilization:
      User                       0 percent
      Real-time threads         21 percent
      Kernel                     2 percent
      Idle                      77 percent
    Model                          RE-J2320-2000

Other than that, this router (along with another J2320 router with 2 GB RAM, and soon to be three more) holds just over a million routes just fine:

Table          Tot Paths  Act Paths Suppressed    History Damp State    Pending
inet.0            995511     308800          0          0          0          0
inet6.0            10670       2594          0          0          0          0

It has three and a half full IPv4 tables and three full IPv6 tables, and more than enough memory to spare as you can see above.

We normally run about 60 Mbps of IMIX through this box but we have seen times where it exceeded 100 Mbps without any sweat at all.
