1600SW and Nine Card,

David,

The Number Nine card is NOT used in the SGI 320, SGI 540, or the SGI O2. When you order the 1600SW for use in a system manufactured by SGI you do NOT get a Number Nine card. To use the 1600SW in a machine manufactured by SGI you need a small adapter card that connects the on board video system to the monitor. The small adapter card is manufactured by SGI and has nothing to do with Number Nine as a company. To use the 1600SW with any computer NOT manufactured by SGI you need the Number Nine card.

I agree that the following paragraph from this link is confusing :

visual.sgi.com{e6a003d8-800c-11d2-b4d6-00c04fa34a34}?code=MON00003U

"The Silicon Graphics 1600SW flat panel monitor supports platform flexibility through a Flat Panel Bundle that includes Number Nine Visual Technologies' Revolution IV-FP card. This card allows the monitor to work with Windows® 95/98 and Windows NT® PCs and with the Apple® Macintosh®. The Revolution IV-FP is easily installed and comes in both PCI and AGP versions."

I work for SGI and I can assure you that what I have said is accurate and true.

Glenn
