I just switched my 256MB boxes down to 12.0S just because of all the bugs
and the memory usage of 12.2S.  One box with two views, MPLS PE, 2 FE, 84 T1s
(3 Ch DS3), and 4 POS DS3 ports on 12.0(26)S5, I'm still hugging 60MB free
memory... That sucks (but it's over twice as much free memory as I had under
12.2(18)S4.)  

So, how in the world do you have 150-160MB free ???? Do all my interfaces
magically eat up memory under IOS?? should I just stop whining ?
