We calculate the two flavor equation of state for QCD on lattices with
lattice spacing a=(6T)(-1) and find that cutoff effects are substanti
ally reduced compared to an earlier study using a=(4T)(-1). However, i
t is likely that significant cutoff effects remain. We fit the lattice
data to expected forms of the free energy density for a second order
phase transition at zero-quark mass, which allows us to extrapolate th
e equation of state to m(q)=0 and to extract the speed of sound. We fi
nd that the equation of state depends weakly on the quark mass for sma
ll quark mass.
