Re: [nsp] Insufficient memory?

Below is the output from 'show mem free' and 'show mem fail alloc' on all
of the core routers in our network. My guess is that nodes 3,4, and 5 have
insufficient processor memory. If so, should I install more DRAM, reduce
the percentage of I/O memory, or both? Also, node 7's processor memory
seems to be fragmented; can or should something be done about that?

Node 3, 4, and 5 are Cisco 2621 routers with 48mb of DRAM. I've read on the
Cisco web site that the maximum is 64mb. I couldn't tell if that was total
(including the 16mb on the motherboard), or 64mb total in the two slots.
Which is it?

Thanks to everyone who has responded so far!
