 The Onyx2 reality is limited to 2 RMs and 4-sample antialiasing.
 It also has half the polygon performance, less textured fill rate
 and is limited to medium (512 bits/pixels). It is also
 less expensive that the Infinite Reality :-)

 Please check http://www.sgi.com/Works/EA/caeforum/Prod/sgi/hardware/graphics/products/Onyx2specs.html for comparison between all graphic options.
