I'd probably give the Arris TM822A a shot, it's an 8/4 modem using the same tuners as the 6141, with twice the ram. State street deals has them for around $17, an incredibly cheap price to see how it does for you. The TM822A is the same exact modem as the TM822G only it doesn't have a battery backup for the phone connections. If you decide to flash it, the latest forceware loads just fine (though the LEDs are off, I need to document exactly what their issue is), and a usbjtagnt with a 3.3v power works great, no hunting around for an ISP point, or needing to power the modem.
