The -2 has 2mb of cache instead of 1. I think it was meant for the sc2000
boxes. A friend has a sm61-2 in his ss20, and it seems to work as a regular
sm61 in there. I don't know if there are any strange issues with using -2's
in those machines though.
Hopefully I'm not spacing and confusing this with the dual cpu board.
