        Still running my G400 16MB SH OEM from 1999.

        Will be upgrading to an athlon XP system soon and it will be going with me. Amazing what
        having 2 kids and buying a house will do to the computer budget

          Parhelia in my main machine

          G200 in my wife's main machine (maybe I should put in that G450 I replaced with the P )

          Millenium II in my server

          Only 1 machine that's non-Matrox - an experimental/gaming box with a Radeon 8500DV. (oh - and the laptop and the SGI workstation, but I don't count those, since there's no choice)

            G400 MAX here. Still waiting for a good successor for the Marvel-chip. Is there *any* card out there that has hardware-scaling, like the Marvel?

                          heh
                          It's an Indigo2, R10K, 192M, 4G, CD-Rom (Toshiba, so it could theoretically boot from it)
                          It doesn't have any of the video features you probably want, though.

                          You can see what it's worth by looking at the following two ebay items: 5726452267 and 5726572489.

                          That's depressing. I bought it 3 years ago, just before the bottom dropped out of the prices, for $1300.

                          bummer.

                            I have a fully functional SGI O2 in my closet... pretty nice system, and fun to screw around with when I am bored...
