You've probably heard that the 6500 will be getting a new 
switch fabric/supervisor module which should resolve a lot 
of the hardware limitations seen in the current EARL (for 
all intents and purposes, it should be the same EARL being 
used on the Nexus 7000 series platforms).

It probably makes more sense for anyone looking at a new 
6500 to consider the Nexus 7000 for a number of reasons, 
least of which isn't the potential for future 40Gbps and 
100Gbps Ethernet support. But Cisco will still get customers 
for the new fabric, especially existing 6500 folk.

Cheers,

Mark.
