You can essentially "disable" the flow mode, it still sucks up RAM (if
you're doing full BGP tables you need, at minimum 2GB, 3 or 4 is better)
but it can still pretty much do the old throughput.

Yep, replace with >= 1GB cards. But if you have to open them anyway for
RAM doing both makes sense.

Most likely you'd build the new image & config in the lab and send out
RAM+CF to be upgraded on site.
