  architecture.

  While the R10K Indigo 2 is a clean development from the classic
  Indigo the Octane is a toatally different design derived from Origin
  2000 technology (as is the Origin 200).

  Looking at a R10000/175 Indigo 2 with Solid Impact and an Octane
  R10000/175 also with Solid Impact (SI) graphics GFX and CPU
  technology is the same (ok, the graphics board looks different and
  has another interface XIO except GIO64) - the rest is totally
  different technology.
