Turning on CEF requires a lot of memory to build the CEF table,
depending on how much is available and how much is fragemented,
you may need to both turn off memory hungry things and reload
before turning it on "successfully".

If things are tight, 12.0S images are a lot smaller than the
newer 12.1 stuff, 11.1CC smaller than than. 8-)

128K-only Cisco's are border-line as far as multi-view full-routes
routers, I'm really curious what happens if you plug a 256M DIMM
into a NPE-225, any takers?
