Hi,

I'm looking into running eBGP with three providers and taking full tables from all three. I've currently got a 3725 with 256MB of RAM, a NM-2FE2W and a NM-1FE2W. Would that be enough to handle the three tables if I'm pushing under 20Mb/s?

The 3725 is a good start. If you regularily see CPU over 50%, it's time to consider something more powerful...

I'm also considering getting a second router for redundancy - maybe a 3825 or a 7200 ebay special. Anyone have any recommendations for this?

... like a 2851 or so. The 3825 might be overkill if you only have 20 Mbit/s. traffic.

If you go for a 7200, you need to get at least a NPE-400 to get something which can take more than 256 Mb RAM, which *will* be a need in the years to come. (Also, a NPE-225 is likely to be slower than a 2851).
