There is a .asr command to see what is disabled and a asr-enable and asr-disable command to update the list. More boxes can disable memory this way than can disable cpu's. My guess is that newer boxes with many cpu's probably have this feature. It's not a feature I really care about so I mostly ignore it.

HP can disable cpu's this way and lock them out with a password. You need another CPU, you buy the password and unlock it. Capacity-on-demand they call it.
