What I would really like is to run the RSP720-3CXL on our 
6500's. At the moment, if one wants to run -3CXL mode 
across the entire chassis, 6500's will only support the 
VS-S720-10G-3CXL (which, as Janos pointed out, isn't even 
supported on the 7600). As much as the new supervisor is 
touting VSS, we really don't need that today, but could use 
the extra horsepower/features available on the card.

Let us hope the upcoming switch fabric will be supported on 
both platform types.

Alternatively, if it's not at all too impossible, Cisco 
could craft a daughter -3CXL card for the SUP720-3BXL so we 
can get -3CXL functionality with a simple supervisor module 
PFC upgrade.

*sigh*, the things we wish for...

Cheers,

Mark.
