You're not incorrect that they can be ordered with that much RAM, however... any sales rep that didn't put you onto the new RE-850-1536-BB (the 850Mhz CPU with 1536 MB RAM) for the same price as the old 400 mhz RE isn't doing his/her job.
I say this because we just got our new M7i with those very specs 5 days ago. Our sales rep originally had us on the 400 Mhz RE, and then zero-cost upgraded the quote to the 850 Mhz RE and we took it. Also, if you are looking into the M7i, you can get the Firewall ASM included/integrated on the FE, but if you order it later, you have to order it as a separate PIC, and it will cost more. danno -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rubens Kuhl Jr. Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 11:27 AM To: juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: [j-nsp] System board memory expansion on M7i Hi. M7i routers can be ordered with 256 or 512 MB RAM system board memory; any guidelines on what usage scenarios would make 512MB desirable or even mandatory ? Our need is a Internet router with 3 full-routing transit feeds and a bunch of peering connections that made us specify more memory for the routing engine, but that may or may not impact forwarding engine requirements. AS and J-Flow are already included in the RFP.
