My 836 has 32MB base memory and a 16MB card. Can I replace this card by a
32MB model? The new 836 has 64MB of base memory and a maximum of 80MB (also the newer IOS versions need 64MB of DRAM)Regards, Carsten

You can try a 32MB module from a 1700 series router. Perhaps it works. I was able to upgrade SOHO9x routers to 48MB with a MEM830-16D module. Even if they are not upgradeable ;-)
Hard to believe, that the developers don't respect the memory limits of a given target platform. Now that less that 0.1 percent of all C83x/SOHO9x router in the field are the new 64MB models, you can now order for a few weeks...

Unfortunately the reality :-(

Thank you for your information! Unfortunately the same problem: max. memory only 48MB but the newewst IOS versions need 64MB... :-(
The old versions will not support latest images. You'll need physically new unit, with P/N ending with -64MB to run latest releases. It's hardware thing, old units simply can't be upgraded.
Cisco posted an bulletin on CCO about that upgrade:
Perfect! :-( Last month I bought a new service contract for software updates, which I can't use...
There is nothing mentioned about the older Routers with 32MB onboard. I don't know a physical reason, why the C83x routers won't accept a 32MB module instead of the 16MB module.
There are also new 12.3(11)T and 12.3(8)T rebuilds ;-)
It does actually talk about the old models under the "New Product Part Numbers" : "The old part numbers cannot be upgraded for additional DRAM and will be phased out."
Doesn't look good..
Hmmmm. I've bought an old 827H. It's now running on 12.3(11)T3. It has 32Mb!!!!
Here's the IOS report
