@gre @rakslice @thomasfuchs @NanoRaptor makes sense, given the N64 was just a severely lobotomized SGI machine…
Antes de que las GPUs modernas dominaran el escritorio, 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 ya estaba mostrando hacia dónde iba la computación visual.
No eran solo computadoras. Eran estaciones para construir el futuro.

Hubo una época en la que decir 𝐒𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 era hablar del futuro.
Las máquinas de esta imagen —como la 𝑺𝑮𝑰 𝑶2, 𝑶𝒄𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒆, 𝑶𝒏𝒚𝒙2 y la familia 𝑶𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒊𝒏/𝑶𝒏𝒚𝒙— no eran computadoras comunes: eran workstations y supercomputadoras visuales diseñadas para hacer posible lo que una PC doméstica de los 90 no podía procesar.
𝗦𝗚𝗜 fue sinónimo de gráficos 3D, visualización científica, efectos visuales, simulación, diseño industrial, animación y cine digital.
What's this? The #VirtualOSmuseum includes #SGI #Irix? Ooh shiny! I didn't think there were any working emulators. Now downloading so I can pick it apart and see how it does it, and then replicate without the extra gigabytes of baggage. And then I shall install my favourite #compiler EVAR, #MIPSPro, which I affectionately call a complier, not a compiler, because it really led the field in whining about bad non-standard C.
Radial Engineering SGI (Studio Guitar Interface) is a professional audio device used by guitarists and bass players to transmit audio sound long distance using Ethernet.
La SGI Fuel no era una PC común: era una estación de trabajo UNIX pensada para gráficos 3D, medios, ingeniería y usuarios técnicos. Con procesadores MIPS R14000A/R16000A, gráficos V12 y sistema IRIX 6.5, representó el poder visual de Silicon Graphics en formato escritorio.
¿Alguna vez la viste o llegaste a usar? Una maravilla.
@flexion Nice!!
All I got is GIMP on my O2. 🙂

Catch of the Day: A visit from the SGI graphics forge! 🦖
Hey Retro Fans!
While many of us still had gray towers sitting under our desks in the late 90s, the world of high-end graphics looked completely different. And today, we had a visitor straight from that world:
Netscape Navigator 4.75C-SGI on an SGI IRIX system!
This is absolutely mind-blowing! SGI (Silicon Graphics, Inc.) built workstations that were as expensive as sports cars and as powerful as mainframes. Whether it was "Jurassic Park," "Terminator 2," or the architecture of the Nintendo 64—all of it was developed on SGI machines running the IRIX operating system.
The fact that today, in 2026, someone fires up their SGI Indy, Indigo, or perhaps even a massive Octane workstation, launches the Netscape 4.75C customized exclusively for IRIX, and browses the web on FrogFind simply goes to show: True hardware legends never die.
A reverent greeting to the lucky owner of this UNIX dream machine!
