I thought SGI mostly used Qlogic these days.
 
I've liked the qlogic PCI cards I've used in various PCs running various
OSs.  I thought they were much nicer than equivelent Adaptecs.

Of course, I'm rebuilding my linux machine now with a 2940UW rather than
a Qlogic.  But only because I didn't have any spare UW Qlogics on hand,
and I'm saving the LSI card for PCI suns.
