[Back to SGI Tech Advice Index]
Ian's...
At present, these systems do not come with keyboard or mouse (add 25 to include these). By default I normally install IRIX 6.5.22, though I can put on 6.2 if preferred (the default disk is a 9GB 68pin with SCSI adapter; larger capacities available if preferred). Also, XZ graphics is currently the same cost as 24bit XL.
SPECIAL SYSTEM: Original Alias/Maya 1.5 system (permanent licenses). Add 150 to any R5K configuration with 256MB RAM. Email for full installed software details. Includes original Maya manual set.

Further upgrades and extras are listed on the Parts/Spares page.
The above specs are not fixed; email me for alternative configurations and prices.
Please see the shipping costs page for full details of postage charges to the UK, mainland Europe and beyond. The shipping cost to a UK destination by ParcelForce48 is 12.50 UKP, and between 20 and 35 UKP for most mainland European destinations for a single Indy with peripherals.
Any Indy valued more than 100 UKP with 6.5.22 installed comes with my custom SGI Gifts CDs and Nekoware CDs. Any Indy valued more than 200 UKP also includes a SCSI Terminator, microphone cable and clip. All Indys are fitted with a spare disk sled and include a power cable.
Indy CPU Performance Comparison Table
With respect to performance issues, here is a comparison table for reference (or see my benchmarks page for real-world examples):
SPECint92 SPECfp92 AIM
R5000SC 180MHz (512K L2): 192.0 211.0 242.0 (*)
R4400SC 200MHz (1MB L2): 140.2 131.0 -
R4400SC 175MHz (1MB L2): 122.6 115.5 118.4
R4400SC 150MHz (1MB L2): 91.7 97.5 113.3

(*) Data is from the use of the CPU in O2, so treat as an estimate only.
R5000SC/150 is usually somewhere between R4K/200 and R5K/180, though
sometimes R4K/200 can be a little faster.
