The SS20 requires tighter timing but both VSIMMs are otherwise identical. The same is not true of the aux video boards, which have a slightly different connector placement. I've never tried a SS10SX VSIMM in a SS20, but I expect that some would work and some would not depending on the timing limits of the chips. The same thing happened with SS10/SS20 NVSIMMs. Rev -01 NVSIMMs were designed for the SS10 and didn't meet the timing requirements of the SS20, so some of them worked and some didn't. Sun recalled the -01's and released an updated version with faster chips. -James
