If the 2650's 128mb of memory isn't enough, what are you recommending? The only Cisco options I'm aware of are the 3660 series or 7x00 class...both of which are overkill for a small network with 2-3 T1's and BGP peers.

Kinda a different twist on the topic, but I fail to see why a site of that size needs to take a full table anyway. If all you have are a couple of T1s multihomed to a couple of the larger networks, you can probably just take customer routes and will achieve as optimum routing as possible. For even better scaling and redundancy get two smaller routers (26xx or rs3000) and run IBGP between them for still a more ecomical solution. andy
