Sure, but that NPE-G2 has full access to 2048MB of RAM. When you have a ASR1002 (RP1, 32bit), you don't have more than 1,7GB allocated to IOSd (2GB RAM, the 32-bit per process limit, minus the memory needed for decompressing IOS). The following is a ASR1002-RP1 with redundancy disabled: cisco ASR1002 (2RU) processor with *1673154K/6147K* bytes of memory. 4194304K bytes of physical memory. A ASR1004-RP1 with redundancy enabled (results in about 690MB RAM): cisco ASR1004 (RP1) processor with *680124K/6147K* bytes of memory. 4194304K bytes of physical memory. Even worse with a ASR1001 with redundancy disabled, you have 1,2GB [1]: cisco ASR1001 (1RU) processor with *1207128K/6147K* bytes of memory. 4194304K bytes of physical memory. Of course, IOS-XE @1,7GB or 1,2GB sucks when compared to classic IOS @2GB RAM. RP2's are 64-bit, so we get more for IOSd: cisco ASR1004 (RP2) processor with *4231052K/6147K* bytes of memory. 8388608K bytes of physical memory. Then again, 64-bit memory allocations need much more memory. I do run ASR1002-RP1s with software redundancy disabled and a single view in a Layer 3 VPN without problems, however I'm not sure if we would get full TAC support for this setup. You definitely cannot run a full view on a 64-bit ASR1k platform with only 4GB of physical RAM.
