- Why buy a Nighthawk if you need SGI graphcis? SGI sells competative
- realtime systems with graphics fully integrated with the processor
- environment. SGI does not sell its graphics adapters to other computer
- mfg's (exception - IBM and the orignal Personal Iris graphics). If Harris
- is the choice, you may want to look at front-ending the machine with an SGI
- graphics workstation through FDDI or other high speed interface. But, you
- really should take a careful look at the SGI offerings. It would be a much
- better integrated solution.
-
- Best of luck in your evaluation,
