Hi,
You will never see a US-IV chip in a US-IIIi system.
AFAIK the US-IV is not 100% pin compatible with the US-III. Also the US-III
chip is not pin compatible with the US-IIIi. In addition the design is
different.
So putting a US-IV chip into a Blade 2500 or any other system would require
a totally new mobo.
HTH,
