Now, not really.. the main problem is, you don't know/see what mibs are indeed working on your devices..
Pull down the MIBs and walk a (non-production!!) router with snmpwalk -m ALL enterprises on some linux box; it's the easiest way to find what I need for me.

Here's what we use for monitoring on 17xx - 72xx, some things like mem-OID's vary by  platform & IOS but walking parents should give you what you need: 

ciscoMemoryPoolMIB
Process-mem free .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.1
IO-mem free .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.48.1.1.1.6.2 

OLD-CISCO-SYS-MIB
CPU avgBusy1 minute .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.57.0
CPU avgBusy5 minute .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.58.0
