I've always used these interchangably.

The B2000 is an exception. I participated in the Field Review of this  
box ("Kazoo", IIRC) & we have one of these in our lab in Roseville.  
This box was considered a "cheap" alternative to a C3000 with a smaller  
power supply, fewer PCI slots, fewer DIMM slots and integrated (see  
below) graphics. The FX-e is soldered on the motherboard.

 From pg 23 of the B2000 the Owner's Guide:

   Monitor Connector
   The B2000 workstation has an integrated HP VISUALIZE fxe graphics
   chip on the system board. Thus, the monitor connector on the rear  
panel
   of the workstation connects your monitor to this graphics chip on the
   system board.
