BB,
I don't understand why you think the 6500's are too slow. Right now a 6500
will support 32Gb back plane or 15Mpps switching, and with the upgrade
coming out later this year it will support 256Gb back plane. That seems
awful fast to me.
Good luck in your findings.

The 6500 is a pretty competent box, though it's a bit more expensive in
terms of price to performance compared with boxes from competitors such as
Extreme & Foundry.

For 4000 series, if you buy the new integrated layer 3 services engine
(http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/cc/cisco/mkt/switch/cat/c4000/prodlit/c4kl
3_ds.htm), it will support L3 switch.
Also, for the performance comparsion, it is not correct to just consider how
fast is the backplane speed. You
i do agree with this . if you are lokking for more gig ports than , 6xxx
with MSFC is the one you should look at.
