It's very similar to the R4000 and R4400 processors but unlike these there is no integrated second level cache controller. R4600 has 16Kb Instruction and 16Kb Data L1 caches like R4400, but it is two-way set associative (as opposed to the R4400 which is direct mapped). Cache line size is fixed at 32 bytes.

He hee he....Sure, Adam!
Welcome to the fastest growing (and only) "club" in CPU-World.. 
There are special websites for this machine and I'll be glad to help you get this beast up-n-running, since the moniter has a special connector. I got all the components when I got mine, since I was able to pick it up locally.
Mine works, but I haven't figured out how to use the software yet. (It's not Windows based.)
Is the Indy just for Graphic Design uses?
CONgrats on the new adoption.  |

Actually I have a few: Indigo Elan, Indy XGE and Indigo 2 Extreme. I also have 5 Suns, 2 Alphas 4 HPs, Amiga (how could I forget), ZX Spectrum 128K+ and C64D and some other interesting vintage stuff.

That's almost a museum there.
And Where do the keep all those 'puters?
Is the Indy the less powerful of the SGI group? |

Again, it depends, the XGE is the most powerful option available and for its time it was the most powerful "personal" SGI. It has R5k/180 with 1 MB cache, a superpipelined and superscalar processor, which, combined with 24-bit graphics, makes working with even more resource-demanding apps comfortable- R4 equivalent would be 4400SC/250 for FP operations. If you even lucky to get machine with XZ (Indigo's Elan equivalent) boards - you have pretty decent 3D performance as well.
So in my stable, it's the contrary: the most powerful SGI workstation, topping Indigo2 R4K/200 in CPU benchmarks, but of course being topped in full-screen 3D, because of EXtreme boardset I2 of mine has. |

Easily, XZ graphics are 2 boards sandwiched together, and video output socket goes thru left GIO slot, leaving empty hole over audio jack inputs. When video output is where it's supposed to be, you have XL (and from the looks of it, you have XL8). |

Then I wish to join the club to. Been collecting SGI hardware since I was 12.
My first box was the Indy, at auction with my father and no one bid so the auctioneer gave it to me for free  That got my interest in these fine machines going.
I am now 32 and along with my first Indy the SGI collection has grown.
Indy,Challenge,Indigo,Indigo2,O2,Origin,Octane,320,330,540,750,Fuel,Tezro I think thats
all of them???? Plus just tons of parts and software.
My other collection consists of vintage computers like Apple, Atari IBM
and the list goes on.
Go to alot of sales and fleamarkets so I find alot of cool stuff.
Cheers, and please let me join the club
