Workstations 2001 - SGI diversifies Silicon Graphics produces workstations and servers, including an O2 Visual Workstation featuring styling reminiscent of Compaq's ill-advised retro toaster design. Processor support includes the MIPS R12000A chip. Memory capacity ranges from 256MB up to 1GB of synchronous DRAM. This Unix-based model includes 32-bit double-buffered graphics, a native OpenGL graphics substation, and hardware-supported texture mapping. The O2 has a dedicated image-processing engine that accelerates operations such as convolutions, and the texture mapping hardware allows real-time pan, zoom, and rotation of large high-res images. The O2's standard video-processing and compression hardware lets workstation users record screen graphics and save them in real time as JPEG compressed movie files. The O2 Visual Workstation has Web-browsing and TCP/IP network protocols integrated into the user interface. For the budget-conscious, SGI's 230 Visual Workstation uses a single Pentium III 667 or 733MHz processor with 256K Advanced Transfer Cache. It includes Silicon Graphics' VPro graphics subsystem with OpenGL on a chip implementation that produces an accelerated geometry pipeline and professional texture-mapping capabilities. Memory capacity is 128MB up to 1.5GB of SDRAM. Windows 2000 Professional is pre-installed along with Red Hat Linux. System graphics handle 1,280-by-1,024 dpi at 75Hz, and up to 2,048-by-1,526 at 60Hz. The 230 has three internal 3.5-inch hard-disk bays and a 48X CD-ROM drive is standard. Five PCI slots provide for expansion. currents.net
