Not any memory, but memory that meets all the specs. I don't know for sure
what all the specs are (someone told me it was parity memory). The 2500 wil
do max of 16M. I dug through my parts box and started plugging in memory
untill I found a 16M that worked. It makes sense that Cisco wouldn't take
the time and money to design some memory when there are standards in place
and all they have to do is look through a book and pick a standard type. So
moust routers will take some kind of standard (as well as most other
hardware, for example HP printers). The one thing though I would only want
to try it in a lab not a production environment where you may need to call
Cisco for support.
