5MB is borderline (depending on what else you are doing on there), I
wouldn't let it get below 3MB (my experience - others will have differing
experience depending on where they are on the Internet). And watch what the
largest free chunk is - if it is significantly different from the amount of
free memory, it is potentially a danger point.
A 7206/NPE150 I have is managing with 128M RAM, 4 full feeds, and no CEF,
with 14 Mbytes free (largest chunk 6Mbytes). CEF table is about 20Mbytes if
you have a full routing table view, so you could carry 3 full feeds with a
tight squeeze (but more realistic to carry only 2 feeds with CEF). Add
soft-reconfig with lots of inbound policy, and 2 starts getting unrealistic.
And that's with 12.0(13)S2 and the k4p version of the image.
