This one is mine now
Picked it up in Milano from a former SGI reseller. It was used for HD video editing with Discreet Flame and contains all the boards required to connect a VBOB.

Lucky you! the seller as been very unprofessional and uncommunicative in my opinion

I think this was mine before I sold it to you :-D

I remember Nekonoko describing a long time ago that he bought a Tezro of unknown specs because he saw its pictures and knew that a machine with 8 slots on the back had to be a 4-processor machine (as opposed to having only 7 slots). So in the worst case he knew he was buying a 4x700 Mhz.

Another physical factor is looking at the CPU cover in the machine. The machine you linked just above is surely not a 4x1GHz because the cover is very shallow -- the CPU cover on 1 GHz machines has a greater "depth", and GHz machines have additional fans installed on the front grill of the machine to push air through the CPU module.

Are we aware of any other hints/signs revealing what the CPU configuration is?

You can see in the photos that there is a 4 CPU sticker over the CPU shield.. I'll let you know when it shows up what the config is...

Yes, but originally I was lookng at stickers at the back of both Octane and in the Tezro, and to me they all looked the same (showing the scheme) rather than actual config? Maybe I missed something.

Thanks for the pointer - if something shows up I'll ping you

Well it turns out it is a 2X 700 Mhz machine, which for the price was about the same I paid for a Fuel, so still happy with the purchase with twice the processing power and a little more oomph. Drives should show up today, can't wait to compare it to the Fuel and Onyx 2 Infinite Reality box that I have. Render on!

It's not that difficult to carry out a node board swap on a Tezro. Getting a good chassis is the hardest part!

If you ever upgrade to a Quad 1GHz machine, you'll have to flash the L1 controller though!

Tezro is too expensive for me now, although I want to get one to play.....

Good luck
