Wikipedia reports there is some variability in ES45 models, including number of CPU and amount of memory. Any idea what model/spec these are?

I have no idea what the other two have for CPUs. Two of them have 32Gbyte of RAM, the cold spare is unknown.

These were single computers that happen to be in the same rack. Two of them have the special HP cluster card whose name and number I forget so they were formed into a TruCluster once upon a time.
I hope hard enough that this cluster gets saved that if no-one else comes forward, I?d like to be notified?.I?m not certain what I could arrange, but the thought of running my own personal Alpha supercomputer ? wow. Not sure how to solve the license issue though. I assume OpenVMS doesn?t support that level of parallelization?
I assume that VMS does support that level of parallelization. Anything Tru64 Unix does VMS does better. Anything Linux does Tru64 Unix does better. Have I made my bigotry clear?
