Top to Bottom
831 running 12.4 SDM
2924xl
2514 with 2 AUIs for enet
3180 on 12.3

I have been looking at getting a 1751 with a wic-1t, I have seen some 3550's real cheap on ebay lately with the EMI image. I know I need to add some 2950's in there but for ICND2 I dont know if they are really worth it.
I just ordered a nm-4 a/s so I can put it in one of my 26xx's to start on my frame skills but would it be better to just buy a modular 3640 and have 8 or more a/s ports? Over kill?
What are your suggestions, where should I take this lab. I plan to immediately start on a CCNP routing/switching as soon as I pass ICND.
I have around 200 bucks I can through at this lab right now. Should I look at RAM upgrades or ebay this stuff and restart with 2600XM's and 3550's.

Well I decided to get some frame/mem goodies.
nm-4a/s $28 (for the frame switch)
2 x wic-1t $46 (this makes 4 frame hosts total)
3 x DCE/DTE cables $20
I'm looked at some mem upgrades.
2620's: 64/16 I think these are fine, not worth the 32mg flash and rom upgrade
2611's: upgraded to 64/16
2 x 16mb flash for 2611's at $30
4 x 32mb dram for 2611'at $37
831: I could upgrade from 48/12 to 48/24 and run the latest 12.4T w/ IP PLUS
If anyone has any suggestions please throw them out there. I will be getting 3550 at some point soon lol. -
