Re: "No, no, no! AMD should, after acquiring SGI, reposition Irix as a consumer OS. Silicon Graphics branded consumer PCs should ship in a dual boot configuration, with Irix being the default bootup. Users should be required to actively change their bootup OS to bootup in Windows XP if so desired. This position should be maintained until Microsoft ships a 64-bit MP version of Windows as a consumer OS." Interesting. Isn't IRIX written for the MIPS architecture, which is a Big Endian type machine. Is the Hammer capable of handling BOTH Little Endian and Big Endian words?
