Last weekend I was a little bit bored so I finally installed the Presenter 1280 board in my previously fastest "desktop" SGI. The Presenter I own is the older Indy Presenter model but after reading up some notes in this forum I gave it a try. Of course it works nicely, here is the hinv:
The nice thing about this setup is that I have a small display for the Octane. Not so nice is that the system almost immediately turns fast fan on as soon as it has passed POST. I don't believe that the little Presenter card makes such a difference, I guess it's probably that a third slot is equipped with a board.
I also have the Presenter board for Indy/XZ but as long as I'm stuck with a broken XZ card, I won't dare installing the Presenter there.
