Slight correction, the A-class systems are based on PA-8700 650MHz CPUs, not
600MHz.  The latter do not exist.

There are now 4 A-class systems to choose from:

A400/110 with a PA-8500 440MHz, crippled by 75%.
A400/150 with a PA-8700 600MHz, crippled by 75%.
A500/140 with a PA-8500 440MHz, crippled by 66%  (maximum 2 CPUs)
A500/200 with a PA-8700 600MHz, crippled by 66%  (maximum 2 CPUs)

The new systems, 150 and 200 are crippled versions of the PA-8700 600MHz
CPU.

There are now 7 N-class systems to choose from:

Nclass/220 with a PA-8500 440MHz, crippled by 50%
Nclass/330 with a PA-8500 440MHz, crippled by 33%
Nclass/380 with a PA-8700 750MHz, crippled by 50%  (maximum 2 CPUs)
Nclass/440 with a PA-8500 440MHz                           (maximum 4 CPUs)
Nclass/500 with a PA-8700 750MHz, crippled by 33%  (maximum 4 CPUs)
Nclass/550 with a PA-8600 550MHz                           (maximum 4 CPUs)
Nclass/750 with a PA-8700 750MHz                           (maximum 4 CPUs)





Has anyone figured out whether this crippling is done via hardware or
software?  I suspect software.  Much easier to change tht way.
