RE: Will Upgrading to V4R5 impact performance???

we are not on 436 box any more - currently, we have a 170 with v4r5.
When we were on 436 we had to double the memory and added a lot of DASD
before our upgrade to v4r5.

Can you clarify your situation? Some of it seems odd. Running a "billion
dollar business" on a 436 seems strange enough; but also, how many
version/release upgrades have you done on your 436 and how many required
hardware upgrades (as in "every time we have a new version of operating
system we upgrade our hardware")? What version/release are you currently
running?
