Re: AS400 170 - 2289 and 2291 processor memory features

I would print out this manual and review the "matching" that must
occur... There is a couple of requirements that you should make
note of. The Sales manual says that 832mb is the max for a 2291.

The manual is clear on one thing... You can use the 256 BUT you must use
"matched pairs"....(Look at notes in the installation manual)
