hi R. The G2 will certainly handle it, but I would look into the reason for having 75%, that sounds really bad.
For the G1 and NPE400, I'd say you definitely need more memory - 512 MB or 1G to be fine. This is what Cisco says: The amount of memory required to store BGP routes depends on many factors, such as the router, the number of alternate paths available, route dampening, community, the number of maximum paths configured, BGP attributes, and VPN configurations. Without knowledge of these parameters it is difficult to calculate the amount of memory required to store a certain number of BGP routes. Cisco typically recommends a minimum of 512 MB of RAM in the router to store a complete global BGP routing table from one BGP peer. However, it is important to understand ways to reduce memory consumption and achieve optimal routing without the need to receive the complete Internet routing table. See this document for the details about the memory consumpsion - http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a0080094a83.shtml The rule of thumb is 1k of prefixes = 1M of RAM, but this is too generic and little conservative.
