Technically, yes.  If you have a 997 4-way and upgrade to a 5-way, the
cpuname should change to reflect 997/500.  This is standard practice by HP,
although several vendors have seen specific cases where HP did not complete
this step.  This is highly unusual, and generally is done once a vendor
notifies HP of the situation.
