There are actually revisions of 2500s that have 2mb of RAM soldered on
the board itself. So when you put in a 16mb SIMM, you end up with 18
megs. Those would have a better chance of running the big images. See:

Thanks a lot.
Yeah iam trying to find a "small ios" but have to compromise on
features!!
But if we load an ios less tha 12MB,i think it should not be a problem..
May be i have to polish my basics with the 2500s and go for lab
rentals..
:-((
my 7 * 2500/2600 total price = 1 * 3800!! Home lab made me sick
Regards
Mohamed.
