The 3620 can't do ipv6 (though it's capable of MPLS for the SP train)
-- the 3640 is a good fit for the lab kit that requires 4+ FR interfaces
-- also not he 2600's need a ROMMON upgrade to run the 12.2(17) train
and memory upgrades (The minimum boot ROM version is 12.1(3r)T1) --
unless you want to mess around with TFTP boot parameters --

The cheapest routers you can get for studying for the CCIE R&S Lab are
2610,2611,3620. For switches you need 3550 or better. I would recommend
doing Internetwork Expert's workbook. If you do IE's workbook you need
like
9 routers, 2 switches, and a frame switch.
