I would strongly recommend picking up a refurb NPE-G2. They should be cheap and available. We are running 15.2(4)S7 on ours with BGP/EIGRP. Very stable. You might also want to bump up your buffers on the 72xx.

I know this hardware is EOL but we have a few still in use and wanted to get them up to a newer version of IOS. We are currently running 12.4(12b) which I think we are hitting a bug with this IOS (bug ID CSCsz97091) in relation to input errors and overruns when a "show run" is done. I am seeing on our error trend graphs every hour we take a burst of input errors, and they are timed exactly to 1 hour interval. It just so happens our RANCID implementation is fetching configs every hour, so I have strong suspicion we are hitting that bug on 12.4(12b). Was wondering what is the best IOS to run on this NPE-G1? We do OSPF/BGP and minor static routing. IPSEC would be nice but not necessary in our situation. Thanks for any IOS recommendations.
