- You can get a 4D/35 upgrade to speed up the CPU to a 36MHZ R3000. You can
- also upgrade the graphics with an Elan graphics board. This combination
- is similar to an Indigo R3K Elan, but with a slightly faster CPU and VME.
- This is the fastest of the Personal Iris family. There is no R4000 upgrade.
- Oh, and the Elan graphics upgrade only works with the 4D35 upgrade (it will
- not work with your current CPU board).
-
- As for cost effectiveness, you'll have to contact your local SGI sales
- person for pricing...
