Thanks,

16777216K bytes of physical memory. < < < < < or 16 Gb -  is the correct one i believe.

Thanks for the response. Not many routers show these two lines for DRAM memory, any idea what each one is for. Why two different values? 

16 GB it´s the correct.

Modern Cisco IOS runs in the background as a separate process (IOSd) on Linux OS. Thus, you see only a half of DRAM allocated for IOSd environment and total physical memory of entire system. You can issue `show mem` to find how much available memory in IOSd at the moment. And `show platform software status control-processor brief` command to find current memory usage of entire system. (yeap, it's a crap, no more simple cli :\)
