Nikon D3 Buffer Upgrade- How to Tell
Harrison, on a Nikon list, writes that he had the buffer upgrade done a week ago and there’s a change to the menu to tell you if it was upgraded:

upper right corner showing two memory chips and a “2X” to indicate
the buffer upgrade.
This is important because when you buy a used D3 or sell yours, you’ll want to know or be able to show that it was upgraded.

I’m the Harrison referenced in here. There’s another way that is also sort of obvious, though the firmware version is still the best way- I didn’t realize it till today, but nikon put a sticker with the same 2x memory chip icon on the inside of the card door. If this is broken off naturally the sticker will be gone.
