What would be the point of that?zizban wrote: Heck port Irix to x86.
You'd get all this by porting IRIX to x86?!?!?! How??? I know IRIX is pretty magical, but it will be able to turn old MIPS binary into shiny new x86 code?Timberoz wrote: For one it might see some new software come to the platform. Or better still support stay for some of the older products that left. Maya, Discreet apps just to name a few.
Or see ongoing development for existing ports.

But this would not involve maintaining existing code, this would mean writing new code, that's where I was getting at... That would be the same logic as expecting Solaris Sparc applications to work on Solaris x86...MooglyGuy wrote: He probably meant to imply that Discreet, Adobe et al might consider maintaining an IRIX port if it were ported to a more 'popular' (please, no evangelists splitting hairs on that choice of terms) architecture.

I've found it to be much faster than the 4870 for gaming and general 3D usage in both Mac OS and Windows. The extra VRAM also helps tremendously in things like Second Life that really load up on textures.

This is necessary if adding something like a second SATA optical drive (such as blu-ray) - without AHCI enabled the drive won't be detected through Windows at all.
I might just do that... Just need one of these $30 Icy Docks, and migrate the HD to SSD and be on my way...nekonoko wrote: Unfortunately the 5-score is to be expected; Microsoft has apparently made it so the Windows 7 Experience awards a maximum of 5 to any drive that is not an SSD.

I haven't touched it... Seems stable so far... One thing I noticed though is that once AHCI is enabled, the the bootcamp control panel refuses to come up since it can't find the boot drives... Only way I could make the control panel come up is by inserting a DVD in the DVD ROM... The control panel shows up, naturally not showing any of the drives... The "restart from Mac OS" doesn't work, but all I wanted to do was changing the function key behavior, so that's OK... A bit of a PITA thoughnekonoko wrote: If you're dual booting, make certain you're not enabling NTFS write support on the Mac side as that's been known to cause data corruption.

Want the granite version (not the old slab, which I think wasn't PS/2 anyway and wouldn't work with the O2) - keyboard and mouse. Am in Chicago - so willing to pay for shipping for items that are in the US.
I have 3 sleds, yes (2 3rd party, with hook, and one sgi). DG board I think I have one, but might not be in good shape... I thought I had a bunch of 300MHz R12K boards, but I can't find them at the moment, lemme check further...evilquim wrote: Do you happen to have any Onyx2 boards laying around? I'm looking for

Which particular Sun LCDs do you have?
Yes, long time no see! Things are going "interesting" to say the least! I do have a few PSU, don't mind shipping (if you don't mind the cost), let's pm, shall we?kshuff wrote: Hey Bill, really long time. What I can use is a power supply for an Octane, Cherokee if you have one and don't mind shipping it
