V7 Memory Requirements

RouterOS RouterOS beta
1

Have a RB951-2n with just 32MB of memory. Will v7 run ok on this router?

I did not dare to upgrade my hap lite to v7 yet. it has 32mb too. On my map lite it eats up 45mb of RAM with just nothing running special. kind of scared.

I’ve an SXT G-2HnD that I upgraded out of curiosity:

                   uptime: 3d6h43m21s
                  version: 7.1 (testing)
               build-time: Dec/01/2021 14:07:27
              free-memory: 5.5MiB
             total-memory: 32.0MiB
                      cpu: MIPS 24Kc V7.4
                cpu-count: 1
            cpu-frequency: 400MHz
                 cpu-load: 17%
           free-hdd-space: 109.9MiB
          total-hdd-space: 128.0MiB
  write-sect-since-reboot: 10705
         write-sect-total: 2895979
               bad-blocks: 0%
        architecture-name: mipsbe
               board-name: SXT G-2HnD
                 platform: MikroTik

It’s quite responsive. Free RAM is about 3MiB less than it was when it was running 6.49.2
Only 7 basic firewall rules though and single core as well so I doubt it’s capable of doing anything more advanced with the resources available!

Just upgraded a RB941-2nD to 7.1 and I have about 9MiB/32MiB memory usage. That’s quite impressive, before the upgrade it was about 6MiB/32MiB on 6.48.6.
