Let me clarify - "cisco certified" memory a.k.a., SmartNet Approved I have heard numerous times on other lists that your TAC contract is worthless if you have any non-cisco certified memory in your gear. That's the quickest way for them to get you off the phone and close the case. IIRC, Compaq (not that I own any of that) does the same thing. Compaq Certified RAM is extremely expensive, and they don't have to support you if you aren't putting blessed compaq memory in. $1000 for 128MB of cisco memory is not unheard of. And 128MB is getting iffy for a full routing table today (I have 256MB in each box in the core). In fact, just for "shock and awe" value, I found this "deal" on-line: 512MB (2-256MB Modules) For NPE-G1 In 7200 Cisco Approved - $3600 Nate - you probably remember the fiasco with getting the rackmount kits for the 2500's and AS5300's a number of years ago? $50 (or was it $150?) plus shipping for 2 metal brackets and 4 screws...
