We have the same serial number on our 520 that we had on our first system/38

re: Serial Numbers--

Although there are a lot of things IBM doesn't allow, there are ways
to upgrade a system and keep the same serial number.  We upgraded our
system by replacing the processor and adding lots of disk drives.
Changed the model number and the processor feature, but not the
serial number.

It all depends on whether IBM provides an 'upgrade path' with the
desired features!
