I am not sure I understand your explaination Alexi, but the Sup2 ships with
128MB of DRAM by default which accomidates Chuck's request about the amount
of memeory required with the Sup2 and Sup720.

It as well used for running CatOS or L2 portion of Native IOS (which still
runs to an extend behind the seen).
Having said that, there is no reason to upgrade it above minimal
requirements of you current software version.
Way I like to do it is to see what is the trend, i.e. if the current version
requires more memory then older software, and if latest-and-greatest
available requires any more memory. This way I can determine a risk of
having to do a field upgrade a year later to migrate to newer software. If
I deem such requirement of later field upgrade potentially high, I upgrade
it out of the factory, just to save an effort to do field upgrade later.
Generally speaking a trend on CatOS based platforms was that memory upgrades
were not frequently required, unlike IOS which has increased from 24 MB on
12.0 to 96 MB for 12.3.
Best regards,
Alexei

Subject: OT: 6500 question
All,
Sorry about the OT, but since I can't reach CCO, I figured I'd ask
you all. Is there any reason to upgrade the memory on a 6500 Supervisor (2
or 720)? I'm talking about the layer 2 portion, not the MSFC memory. Other
than the CAM table, MAC multicast info, and other small stuff, I can't see
what it'd be used for. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chuck Church
