IRIX distro (was Re: cool find.)

Howdy, Now I've some competition to find a elusive RE boardset. (drat) :-) Actually, what I'd really like to find is a DG2/GE8 and a couple of RM5's so I can have more texture memory, but I'll "settle" for a generic RE w/ RM4's. :-) I also need a set red skins, but eh.. Any particular reason for 5.2? W/ a full 256Mb of memory I didn't think 6.2 would be horrific performance..
