Larry, the HP e3000 will support the PA-8700 in time.  This will most likely
occur with our next generation platforms.  The PA-8500 and 8600 versions are
due out in 2001.  What you are seeing today is a description of what is
planned for the future PA-8700 processor.  There are no systems shipping
with the PA-8700 today.

HP also has a public PA roadmap that also mentions the PA-8800 and PA-8900.
The HP e3000 servers will also support these processors in the fullness of
time.
