Hi all,
2600 series with 64MB will "just" fit the full BGP routes. I watched our 2620 with 64MB's free memory drop from 40MB to 3.3MB when the upstream provider starting injecting the full routes. The thing that bothered me was that as time went on, the free memory started shrinking. When it struck 1MB after about 2 weeks, I decided to cull some BGP routes, so I don't have to experience "unscheduled" router crash when the 2620 runs out of memory. We've since upgraded to 7206 with 128MB, and I no longer need to watch the free RAM counter nervously everyday!

You can run BGP on a 2600 with 64MB of RAM with full BGP routes, but I
wouldn't suggest it. I've actually done it before If you have a very
stable link it is possible. But, even with 128mb of memory the processor is
not very fast to handle frequent route flaps.
