Bob, I have seen a little interest in LPAR boxes for pseudo High
Availability, supporting old releases or for incremental processor usage
(Service bureau only needs 3 CPUs and LPARs out the 4th to their
development

and
8 partitions?  Al Barsa might jump in here too, since his folks probably
sell a few LPAR systems...
