Ken,
Fundamentally I agree, more RAM is better, however, that depends on the
problem that is being solved. If the performance issue is a series of
wait states on storage access, more RAM will not help, only more and
faster storage access or a change to the program will help. The
question is, and I think Sue or Dawn may have expressed it, what is
causing the wait states that are slowing the system down? Once the wait
states are understood, then get the hardware/software to correct it.

Unless there was actually a need for more DASD, personally I would
lean for as RAM as I could afford.
