Symantec Ghost will kill a 2600, 4500, and RSP1 by itself if it is multicasting (which it should be, not broadcasting) and you are doing multicast routing (pim-sparse or pim-dense) and sometimes even when you disable MR. I know this from the school of hard knocks - you will have CPU starvation with a 100Mbps-capable LAN (maybe not at 10Mb, but then you would saturate the net). A 7200/NPE-300 can handle it nicely. DHCP isn't much of a problem, but when you enable the ip helper-address be sure to selectively disable (no ip forward-protocol) everything else you don't need (DNS, TFTP, NetBIOS, etc).
