RFC layer 3 ethernet device for high bw application

Need something that can handle up to 600Mpbs with NAT and GRE and perhaps ultimately BGP. Just need to two gigE ints. Someone else recommended a 3845 but according to cisco doc that supports 250Mpbs. I was curious if a 4948 would be best - that's about 1-2k more. 4948 doc claims, "72 Mpps forwarding rate in hardware for Layer 2-4 traffic." How real world are Cisco's specs?

thanks
