Didn't we have this discussion a month or so ago? 

As I recall, the conclusion was that you can put all sorts of bizarre 
combinations of processors in the SS20 (I had one that ran Solaris in 
production for a couple of years with a dual 100 Ross & an SM71).  However, 
if you have a problem, don't ask for help.  It's a completely unsupported 
config, with far too many strange possibilities to debug. 

A google search should turn up the thread.
