Partial tables are probably fine. If you must do full tables (probably due to a customer power trip) and your customer will have BGP connections to two or more ASes (ISPs) then I'd strongly recommend a box that can handle 128MB. 64 just isn't enough to crunch all those paths, I've seen quite a few 7200s with 64mb blow up in that very environment.
