They might be different modules but with the wrong jumper settings.  Get
the module part numbers and find out how much e-cache is on each module.

The E450 was supposed to be sold with 250MHz CPUs as the lowest end
configuration, but it was tested and qualified with 200s before the 250s
were ready (as was the U30).  It's possible but very unlikely that you've
got one of the prerelease systems, it's much more likely that someone
either misconfigured the jumpers or swapped in some Ultra 2 CPUs to get
something running.
