RE: AS/400 UPGRADE -- MIDRANGE-L

Chris, 
Out of interest, why?
Extra memory would make the software u/g quicker, and the extra disk would
ensure that the LPP libraries would be spread over more disk arms...

Dare, concentrate on the s/w upgrade.  As long as you meet pre-requisites,
(which your hardware vendor should be able to confirm), disk, memory, and no
protection->raid are a piece of cake.

Regards,
Stuart
