call up TAC, and get the "AVL list - Authorized Vendor List" for your router. A quick search for AVL on the main site at cisco returned a few interesting pages: "don't do this, we're not responsible, etc." at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/10.html "RAM for RSP or VIP cards" at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/40.html which has links to some great pictures at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/compare.gif and http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/770/ruler.gif some of the other links talk about the AVL for other products as well. have fun, rob

I received prices for upgrading RAM memory in both a Cisco 7000 and Cisco 7500. Ouch!
My question is: the 7000 appears to accept standard 30pin SIMMs while the 7500 accepts 72pin SIMMs. Since I can purchase lifetime memory (60ns, true parity) for orders of magnatiude less, why shouldn't I? Has anyone really tried this? Other than Cisco claiming that future problems are related to the non-Cisco memory I installed, what problems might I encounter? Are there less-expensive "Cisco certified" memory dealers?
