The proper designation is the R4000-50/VGX. The "Crimson" processor can be purchased in a rack, and that beast is called the R4000-50. When you upgrade a POWER Series system to the R4000 50Mhz, it should have the same designation. There's another reason why your machine isn't a Crimson. It's missing the Grinch board that allows it to run Entry/XS/XS24/Elan graphics. Greg Estes Product Manager, RealityEngine Silicon Graphics
