During SGI's descent from greatness into obscurity they built Windows  
NT machines with Intel CPUs before embracing Linux. FreeBSD *should*  
run on those systems but IMO SGI performance and/or reliability  
doesn't justify their cost. OTOH if you are trying to resurrect free  
hardware then just "try it, nothing to lose." But at some point one  
must consider whether the cost of electricity to run old hardware is  
worth it.
