SGI's IA-32 workstations now run NT or Linux.

SGI has introduced three Pentium-powered, graphics-optimized workstations that can run either Microsoft Windows NT or the Linux open-source operating system.

The SGI 330 and 550 workstations replace the NT-only 320 and 540 models in the company's 32-bit product line, said Ujesh Desai, SGI's IA-32 product line manager.

The new models drop SGI's proprietary architecture in favor of standard Intel architecture, Desai said, making them easier to use with third-party devices.

Pentium III processors power all three workstations. The SGI 550 has one or two 733- or 800-MHz Pentium III Xeon processors; the 330, one or two 733- or 800-MHz Pentium IIIs; and the 230, a single 667- or 733-MHz Pentium III.

The 230 and 330 models each can accommodate up to 1.5G of synchronous dynamic RAM. The 550 handles up to 2G of the more advanced Rambus Direct RAM from Rambus Inc. of Mountain View, Calif.
