501-2541 - motherboard, 0 MB, (2) SM51, [SS1000]
501-2336 - motherboard, 0 MB, FRU, [SS1000]

The 2336 is a Field Replacement Unit, no specs on processors on it, the
2541 is a dual SM 51 (55 ish Mhz proc) board.

The SBUS is at 20 Mhz.

You will need to look at the Barcode #'s on the MBUS CPU modules to tell
what speed they are, the barcode is -USUALLY- on the MBUS connector so you
mau have to pull the modules from the board to find out. I would expect
that the modules on both of your boards are SM 51's.

Information is part from memory, part from http://www.sunstuff.org
