256M RAM will barely handle one BGP feed filtered to /23 (140k routes) >The first thing that came to mind when tasked with this was actually >Quagga/OpenBGPD.

If you're just looking for data gathering, go with Quagga. We've got an old SOHO box (533Mhz, 512M RAM, 512M Flash drive) running a lean install of Fedora with 8 BGP feeds (somewhat filtered) inbound, and another session to route-views. This replaced a 7200 NPE-300 w/256M that couldn't keep up a few years back.
