Guys - just get the serial number or MAC address, contact Cobalt 
and look up what kind of machines they were sold as. Simple as 
that. You want to be darn sure before you start screaming lawsuit.
It's quite possible that the processor went bad on that box and 
to save cost, they replaced it with a 300mhz rather than a 450mhz.
As for the second ethernet interface, it could just be disabled 
if it isn't being used. 

Take care.
