I run plenty of them in plain jane 6500s. An E chassis is NOT a
requirement.

Only if you plan on using dCEF. It's not required for CFC (central
forward).

  also highly recommend using the appropriate DFC for these cards that matches
  your Sup. Here is a description of that bug, but note that you need to
  upgrade to at least 12.2(18)SXE4.
  
  The bug is CSCei20107, it impacts 6748's with DFC3's installed. The bug is
  essentially a memory leak related to span sessions. If you don't have spans
  configured you may not hit it. The DFC's will reload due to MALLOC fail.

  We are using these atm. I think they require native and sup 720
  A word of caution is that some of these modules have a issue with them .
  When you order make sure you receive these modules with hardware revision
  number more than 2.3 . Otherwise they will go down into "pwr down" mode and
  the only work around is to repalce with a new module

  Hi all:
  
  Anyone knows if Catalyst 6500 with supervisor 1A and using hybrid code can
  support the ws-x6748-ge-tx line card?
  
  I've seen Cisco docs that seem contradictories... unfourtunately, i haven't
  the apropiate hw to test this issue... it seems that if you have catos 8.1.2
  it works but i am not totally sure.
  
  Anyone can help? Anyone has this type of config?
  
  Regards
