You'll want to read http://mbus.sunhelp.org/ to get a better idea of
what's out there. At the bottom of the "Modules" section, they have a
"Relative Performance" chart that might be helpful.
There are some Ross modules out there you _don't_ want. One example
that I hear bad things about is the "SM100" which has two 40MHz CPUs on
one card... I've read about people putting two of these (for 4 CPUs) in
their system and expecting a workhorse, but ending up with a snail.
Do your research and figure out if it's really worth the price... and
you can get two of 'em in an SS20 since there are two MBUS slots... as
long as it's not so big that it doesn't allow for a second.
I'v'e personally got a pair of SM71s (SuperSPARC-II) in my SS20, and I'm
happy with them.
