Kind of funny, but Cisco's list price for a 1GB memory upgrade is $4800 for a Catalyst 6500.

It might seem that Cisco is wasting their time to defend a product like the linksys iPhone, but their vision for the future of communications is much bigger than putting MP3's on your cell phone with a big screen. They have long been the largest network infrastructure (routing, switching, wireless, security, etc) providor in the world, but They have quietly become the largest providor of enterprise telephony equipment (their VoIP solutions are outselling every other competitor combined), have acquired Scientific Atlanta (which means your set top box will say Cisco soon enough), and are changing the way cable/telecom companies are deploying the backbone of their triple-play (and 'quad-play', where a device like iPhone could become important in the future) IP networks. CEO John Chambers' vision for the future of communications is definitely something to look into, and the 'iPhone' could grow to be MUCH more interesting than Apple could ever dream of.

HOWEVER, you may not have to necessarily pay Cisco's price for that. Several vendors, Kingston, and Viking, make Cisco-compatible memory that works fine in many switches and routers.

This applies to Flash memory as well.

And you have to buy RAM from Apple?
