Features include a MIPS R14k CPU, Vpro graphics, and a PCI bus (finally)." As you would expect from SGI, it looks good, and the specs are impressive. I only see IRIX listed, but with the specs on this thing, it may not be slow :)

    I wouldn't say GF4 is standing anywhere near VPro graphics. I am running here 6 years old MaxImpact SGI graphics, and it kicks ass of GF2.

    If you think that a Mac is a reasonable resplacement for one of these then you really don't understand either machine, nor what they're good for.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm really impressed with the work Apple is doing, but I'd never consider trading in an Octane for a OSX box, let alone a Fuel.
