The Indy series had CPU upgrades available several times during its lifespan.
We replaced CPU's in our Indys at least twice, becuase SGI gave us a great
bargain on the upgrade price. I know the first time we upgraded was
shortly after we purchased the units, so I wouldnt be surprised if the
original CPU was extremely slow.

This was very amusing thanks.
I once overheard some internal guys
(another company, BTW) talking about SGI desktops.
Maybe you heard this one? After the success of
the SGI blue tower "Indigo" they came out with a
desktop "Indy". It was noticeably slower, though
making it: "The Indy, an Indigo without the go"
It's a nice story, but unfortunately, only a story. I should know: I have
three Indigos and two Indys of my own, and manage about a hundred more at
work. An (blue) Indy is faster than an (purple) Indigo.
