Good question. When I put together my machines I generally referenced the sgi systems timeline to understand when the system was introduced and when it was discontinued and pick the latest release that is not too far past the end date of the system as a start. I have also found articles that indicate the last supported irix release for a specific system. But then again even if it’s the latest version for a particular system, it may run slow due to being too resource taxing. I on my Indy, but have wondered if 6.2or earlier would be faster, knowing it will run different applications from what I have installed now.

It would be nice to have a hardware agitator for each system on this forum.
