Yep.

You could use 'memory-size iomem <32|40|64>' to free some additional
IO-mem for processor use. In my experience the default 64 MB IO-mem
is overkill unless you have hundreds of interface for instance in
an ATM/BRAS setup or special QoS stuff. Be sure to watch the free mem
via 'memory free low-watermark IO <Mem>'. This might take you a few
more months along the road until a swap to 400/G1/G2 is inevitable :)

By the way: any details on the NPE-G2-beast or is it a (typo-)myth?
