RE: 170-2291 and V5R3

Unless they are severely CPU constrained right now, I'd imagine the RAM
boost would easily overcome any performance penalty the OS upgrade would
have.

Subject: 170-2291 and V5R3

I have a client on a 170-2291 with 256mb memory running V5R1 just fine.
I want to move them on to either 5.2 or 5.3. In either case I will up
the memory to 512mb, but how much of a performance hit will I get going
to 5.2? 5.3?  Anyone running 5.3 on this small of a box?

They aren't going to buy a new system for at least 2 years...

Thanks
