We just received/installed the R4000 upgrade for our 4d/310 VGX that
was purchased under the Performance Protection Plan.  Now I want to
know:

What's the difference between the machine I have and a Crimson, besides
the fact that the machine isn't red and I don't have a label on top that
says 'Crimson' on it?

[actually, the field engineer who did the install DID put a new label
on the chassis, but it says 'R4000-50 VGX']

I'm assuming both systems are 50MHz R4000 IP17's, but beyond that I
really haven't a clue.  Is it correct to refer to this machine as a
4d/Crim?  If not, what's the proper designation?

Just curious, mostly.

cheers,
sr.
