Re: AS400 170 - 2289 and 2291 processor memory features

Chris,

   3004 memory is 3004 memory no matter which machine you put it in.
You can put the 3004 memory in your 170, but you will not
be able to use more than 832MB in your 2289 or 2291 machine.   We moved
two 3004 modules of memory from a 170 to an 820 when we did the upgrade,
and it worked fine.
