[rescue] SGI Systems available

[Curtis H. Wilbar Jr.]

As I understand it, for heavy 3D the R5000/180 is better with the XL24.

Unfortunately, I don't have an XL24 framebuffers.

I can't say how much better it runs... the XZ is still a damn good
framebuffer.  Wether or not the 3D engines on the XZ can be not used
(which would allow you to do the 3D calcs on the R5000 and just use the
XZ as a dumb (ala XL24) framebuffer) I do not know.

I can do an R5000 with an XL (non 24 bit... only 8 bit) framebuffer, but
I figured most people would want 24 bit more.

The good thing is you should be able to sell the XZ for more than what
it would cost you to aquire an XL24.
