depending on how you define a "computer", at last count, i have somewhere between 50 and 70 of them.
i try to maintain most of them in at least a semi-working state, and use many of them for various projects, and for testing software across a range of different operating systems and cpu architectures.
the first one i obtained is an SGI Indy with the following specs:
- CPU: MIPS R4400SC @ 150MHz
- RAM: 128MiB (can hold 256MiB, but i am using the extra RAM in other machines)
- GPU: XZ Graphics (hardware accelerated if not using textures)
this machine is the one i originally wrote my hypercube screensaver on.
i also have an SGI Octane with:
- CPU: 2x MIPS R12000 @ 300MHz
- RAM: 4GiB
- GPU: Odyssey V10
i have an Onyx2 system with:
- CPU: 2x MIPS R12000 @ 400MHz
- RAM: 1280MiB
- GPU: InfiniteReality
This system is currently not fully functioning due to fan tray issues.
i have an Origin350 system with:
- CPU: 4x MIPS R14000 @ 700MHz
- RAM: 1536MiB
This system is missing an internal power cable for the hard drives.
i also have an Altix350 compute node that cannot operate standalone, and must be connected to other nodes that do have that capability using a NUMAlink cable in order to function, and i do not have such a system. the Altix350 is based on an Intel Itanium processor, rather than MIPS. incredibly, despite being a newer architecture, the failure of Itanium has resulted in it being much harder to run modern software and compilers.
