ok, now i see that i was completely wrong :). i just checked first chip only.
three boxes are exactly the same as yours. but no graphics card there. that
card looks like yours and it is only in that another box. it has cpu boards in
place of memory slots (two boards in two levels, one over another one) and
memory slots are in place of cpus/cmmus. in those three boxes cpu and cmmus
are on mainboard. in that another box boards with cpus are connected into two
sockets in left side.

see above.

so, result is that i have three av400 boxes and one slightly different,
probably too av400 but older type? or newer one?
