Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") to be filed by MIPS Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about August 11, 2003 in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 1,825,154
shares of your common stock (the "Stock") that are subject to issuance by
you as follows in connection with evergreen increases under such plans
effective as of July 1, 2003:

- 1,622,269 shares of Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock
options granted or to be granted under your 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan
(the "Option Plan"); and

- 202,885 shares of Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of purchase
rights granted or to be granted under your Employee Stock Purchase Plan
(the "Purchase Plan").

The Option Plan and the Purchase Plan are collectively referred to herein
as the "Plans."  In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters
of fact as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set
forth herein, which included an examination of the following:

(1)	your Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed with
the Delaware Secretary of State on April 1, 1999;

(2)	your Amended and Restated Bylaws, certified by the Company's
Secretary on or about the date hereof;

(3)	the Registration Statement, together with the exhibits filed as a
part thereof or incorporated therein by reference;

(4)	the Prospectuses prepared in connection with the Registration
Statement;

(5)	the action by written consent and minutes of the meetings of the
Board of Directors on May 22, 1998 and August 27, 1998, respectively,
relating to the adoption and subsequent amendment of the Plans and the
action by written consent of your stockholders on May 22, 1998 relating
to the adoption of the Plans.

(6)	the stock records that you have provided to us, consisting of
certificates from your transfer agent as of June 30, 2003 and as of the
date hereof, verifying the number of your issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock as of those dates and a summary report as of June 30, 2003
and as of the date hereof of the number of shares of your common stock
subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase
your capital stock and the number of shares of your capital stock reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of options to be granted in the future (the
"Stock Records"); and

(7)	a Management Certificate addressed to us and dated of even date
herewith executed by the Company containing certain factual representations
(the "Management Certificate").

In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have
assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures
on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness
of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the legal capacity of all
persons or entities executing the same.  We have also assumed that the
certificates representing the Stock will be, when issued, properly signed
by authorized officers of the Company or their agents.

As to matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have relied solely upon
our examination of the documents referred to above and have assumed the
current accuracy and completeness of the information obtained from the
documents referred to above and the representations and warranties made by
representatives of the Company to us, including but not limited to those
set forth in the Management Certificate.  We have made no independent
investigation or other attempt to verify the accuracy of any of such
information or to determine the existence or non-existence of any other
factual matters; however, we are not aware of any facts that would cause
us to believe that the opinion expressed herein is not accurate.

We are admitted to practice law in the State of California, and we render
this opinion only with respect to, and express no opinion herein concerning
the application or effect of the laws of any jurisdiction other than, the
existing laws of the United States of America, of the State of California
and of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Delaware Constitution and
reported judicial decisions relating thereto.

Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the 1,825,154 shares of
Stock that may be issued and sold by the Company upon the exercise of
stock options and purchase rights granted or to be granted under the Plans,
when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the applicable plan and
purchase agreements to be entered into thereunder and in the manner and for
the consideration stated in the Registration Statement and the relevant
Prospectus, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

[Remainder of this page intentionally left blank]

We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement and further consent to all references to us, if any, in the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus constituting a part thereof and any
amendments thereto.  This opinion is intended solely for use in connection
with issuance and sale of shares subject to the Registration Statement and
is not to be relied upon for any other purpose.  We assume no obligation
to advise you of any fact, circumstance, event or change in the law or the
facts that may hereafter be brought to our attention whether or not such
occurrence would affect or modify the opinions expressed herein.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

At your request, we have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8
(the "Registration Statement") to be filed by MIPS Technologies, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or about August 11, 2003 in connection with the registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an aggregate of 1,825,154
shares of your common stock (the "Stock") that are subject to issuance by
you as follows in connection with evergreen increases under such plans
effective as of July 1, 2003:

- 1,622,269 shares of Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of stock

(the "Option Plan"); and

- 202,885 shares of Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of purchase

The Option Plan and the Purchase Plan are collectively referred to herein
as the "Plans."  In rendering this opinion, we have examined such matters
of fact as we have deemed necessary in order to render the opinion set
forth herein, which included an examination of the following:

(1)	your Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed with
the Delaware Secretary of State on April 1, 1999;

(4)	the Prospectuses prepared in connection with the Registration
Statement;

(5)	the action by written consent and minutes of the meetings of the
Board of Directors on May 22, 1998 and August 27, 1998, respectively,
relating to the adoption and subsequent amendment of the Plans and the
action by written consent of your stockholders on May 22, 1998 relating
to the adoption of the Plans.

(6)	the stock records that you have provided to us, consisting of
certificates from your transfer agent as of June 30, 2003 and as of the
date hereof, verifying the number of your issued and outstanding shares
of capital stock as of those dates and a summary report as of June 30, 2003
and as of the date hereof of the number of shares of your common stock
subject to issuance upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase
your capital stock and the number of shares of your capital stock reserved
for issuance upon the exercise of options to be granted in the future (the
"Stock Records"); and

(7)	a Management Certificate addressed to us and dated of even date
herewith executed by the Company containing certain factual representations
(the "Management Certificate").

In our examination of documents for purposes of this opinion, we have
assumed, and express no opinion as to, the genuineness of all signatures
on original documents, the authenticity and completeness of all documents
submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals and completeness
of all documents submitted to us as copies, and the legal capacity of all
persons or entities executing the same.  We have also assumed that the
certificates representing the Stock will be, when issued, properly signed
by authorized officers of the Company or their agents.

As to matters of fact relevant to this opinion, we have relied solely upon
our examination of the documents referred to above and have assumed the
current accuracy and completeness of the information obtained from the
documents referred to above and the representations and warranties made by
representatives of the Company to us, including but not limited to those
