I have a Blade 1500 that says Sun Special on the back sticker. I was checking the CPU to try to identify the speed and found "UltraSparc IIIi, D3140202 0331, PG2.4 980 USA, SME 1603 uPGA". According to our records this system was recorded when we purchased it as 800Mhz, but there was never an 800Mhz Blade 1500 that I know of. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Does your system have a Sun outer chassis shell, or does it look like a white box PeeCee ?
Does it have a functional OS installed and can you access the system ?
You could just inquire at OBP or from within the OS.
The first "real" SB1500 (from 2003) had a red section on the front bezel.

The next model SB1500 (from 2005) had a silver section of plastic on the front bezel.

You can go through the Full Components List from each of those SSH links.
The actual cpu part number will be on a barcode sticker on the module.
That will require you to open the chassis and examine the installed module.
I mentioned "real" SB1500's, because another division of corporate Sun is named
Sun MicroElectronics ( a.k.a. SME ), and they had a barebones systemboard/cpu kit
based upon the SB1500 design that was sold to OEM's.
SME can configure their offerings most any way they want,
and need not make them the same as the official full Sun systems.
Such OEM customers could then install the kit to wherever they wanted
and make the board into a controller for that 3rd party machine.
An example of that is the healthcare industry (CAT scanners, MRI systems, etc)
... something needs to be the brain for such equipment
and a proven design that can run a robust UNIX 24-by-7-by-365 suits it nicely ...
