Thanks for all the responses, even the out-of-office notifications (at
least some one is having a vacation ;)
Here are some of the responses:
* You cannot mix CPU speeds in a V480. See
http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/System_Board/SYSBD_SunFire_CPU.html#7028
((SunFire 880 Release Notes))
((Mixing module speeds within a Sun Fire V880 is not))
((supported.))
* It won't work. You'll end up with 4 x 900.
* The local sun engr says it's OK if you're at the latest firmware
((comments regarding a Non-480 system))
* Can you really do this?
* I've never heard of a happy system with mixed CPU speeds.
* In the older days, you'll run at the slowest CPU speeds

((SunFire 480 Release Notes: "Must use the ...same speed))
Thanks, I'll take that last one as my answer.

-------------Original Question------------------
All:
I have a SunFire480 running 2x900MHz
(Sol9 and the latest patch set).
I would like to add a 2x1.2GHz board, X6895A.
Any gotcha's I need to know about, or can I just drop it in and go?
Thanks,
Roy
