Software Advisor, go to:

release.
No. The network processing engine (NPE) or network services engine (NSE)
provide bandwidth to the system. Newer NPEs or NSEs provide more bandwidth
than older NPEs.
For individual port adapter processor memory requirements, see
NPE or NSE, Cisco IOS, and router SDRAM memory requirements, see
Chapter 2, "Memory Requirements."
