It's important to realise that the you still have to run the
executable on an SGI, youre just using the PC as a display server.

Some of these PC cards are cool for the low end, but your post doesn't
mention the new SGI O2 which I hope you are aware of. It's designed to
support high quality texturing unlike the Indy and earlier Indigo2
graphics you mention and has a revolutionary Unified Memory Architecture
which gives it a performance advantage over PC architectures. If your'e
not aware of O2 that's our fault and you should get in touch with your
local office to arrange a demo.

Cheers,
Angus.
