Hi guys, Following up on this thread ... is there a particular non-Cisco RAM manufacturer you've had good experience with (for example, a vendor known to sell re-branded Cisco RAM?).
You can hit me off-list if preferred.

Summary: - ASR1002-X with default processor and 8GB RAM is plenty for (2) full BGP feeds - if buying non-Cisco RAM, 16GB is cheap, so consider doing it now rather than later to avoid headaches - (2) full BGP feeds will be well below 1,000,000 FIB limit (which is comprised only of best routes) Besides the risk of not being able to obtain support from Cisco (and maybe being billed by them) if a problem is traced to the third-party RAM (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/prod_warranty09186a00800b5594.html), does anyone see any issue with using non-Cisco RAM? Is it generally just as reliable as the Cisco stuff?

I've got tons of ASR1002-X's with 16GB of RAM running 2x full IPv4 and IPv6 feeds. No complaints. My guess is I'll run out of physical ports and ESP bandwidth before I run out of RAM and FIB memory :-).
