Sims usually include a specific command set and nowhere near all of the commands that a full IOS contains. I wouldn't be surprised if it were adequate for the career certs. For the CCIE you need to know the obscure commands and this rack is configured for the INE labs.

Some people use an emulator called Dynamips. I tried it years ago and it has serious performance issues. It also couldn't emulate switches adequately enough to be of any use. I'm not sure what its status is today.

The other approach is to rent rack time. I don't find that convenient since I only have a couple hours per day to study and not at a fixed time, either.

Will do. I'm guessing I'd make out best by parting out the 3640s and ditching the chassis. I do hate to throw away working stuff, though.
