Sorry, thought everyone knew - here is an excerpt from the SGI Hardware FAQ for those who are curious:

  Indy: IP22:
  Express (XZ ["GR3-Elan": 24, Z, 4 GE7, 1 RE3.1]),
  Newport (XL ["NG1": 8|24, soft Z, NG1, REX3])

  Indigo2: IP22:
  Express (XZ ["GR3-Elan": 24, Z, 4 GE7, 1 RE3.1]),
  Newport (XL ["NG1": 8|24, soft Z, NG1, REX3]),
  Newpress (Extreme+XL ["GU1-Extreme": 32 Z]),
  Ultra (Extreme ["GU1-Extreme", 32 Z])

What was the most prevalent graphics configuration on the Indigo2s?
