The usual recommendation is indeed to have identical stepping.   However
I checked once by intel.com the specifications for SMP on PII and it was 
indicated that a stepping differring by 1 was tolerated.  I have such a node
with 
2 PII/400 Deschutes which works as well as another node with identical 
stepping.
