Are you planning on accepting full routes from both providers?  Have you
considered only accepting customer routes from them?  I'm not sure, but
I think 128MB would handle the full table from two providers, but it may
not be necessary depending on what you're trying to accomplish.

In our case, I accept customer routes only from two providers which
amounts to about 35,000 routes from one and 6000 from the other.  I then
tweaked some static default routes to help even things out a bit.  This
is all on a 3640 with 128MB of DRAM and I've got *plenty* of room left. 


As far as processing goes you should be fine.  This 3640 is probably
overkill.  It hardly knows it's turned on!  :-)

HTH,
John

What is the recommended router if I wanted to run bgp on my dual
internet 
connection.  I currently have a 2651 and will be upgrading it to 128MB
but 
am not sure if that's enough to run bgp considering the size of the bgp

routing table. Thank you.
