Its my understanding that it uses SIMMS.
Bzzzt! Not so. As was typical for workstations of that vintage, it
seems as if every model produced by SGI used a different form of
proprietary memory.
That's not to say they aren't SIMMs, though admittedly in context "uses
SIMMs" is awful close to "uses SIMMs of some very common type".
Quite.
Although the Indigo (R4000), Indy and Indigo2 all used bog standard 72-pin
ECC SIMMs, as has been pointed out several times already (but, apparently,
it bears repeating).
