My questions:
- How fast is it?
That would depend on the processor installed. Check the manuals here:

- What can I run on that?
You should be able to run any MIPS based/IRIX software for SGIs. I
don't know what IRIX release you'll need; perhaps someone else can
provide that info.
- Does it use any kind of special memory?
Its my understanding that it uses SIMMS. See:
<http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi?coll=hdwr&db=bks&srch=&fname=/SGI_EndUser/Indigo_OG/sgi_html/ch03.html>
- Can I use a PC mouse/keyboard with that?
- Are the monitor frequencies suitable for a modern PC monitor?
I *think* the answer to these is yes, but check the usual web sites
(futuretech, Ian Mapelson's SGI site, etc.) for info.
I got 2 Indigos sans hard drives recently but haven't had a chance to
explore more in depth than unpacking them.
