How do I identify memory and floating point hardware?

Here's my situation: We are buying a used MicroVAX II.  The price is
based on the claim that it has 3 megabytes of memory and double
precision floating point.  I need to confirm this.  How can I tell if
it has double precision floating point?  I looked at the CPU board (or
what I guess is the CPU board) and saw two chips in sockets marked
"23110E6" and "23111E6".  Does this mean anything to anyone?  Under
MicroVMS, "SHOW MEMORY" says: "3.00 Mb".  Can I trust this?  The board
next to the CPU would appear to be a memory board and it is about half
populated.
