               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT


Item 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

     The following documents and information heretofore filed by Silicon
Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are
hereby incorporated by reference:

     (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     June 30, 1994, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (b)  The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended
     September 30, 1994, December 31, 1994, and March 31, 1995, filed pursuant
     to Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

     (c)  The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 1995,
     filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (d)  The description of the Company's Common Stock to be offered hereby
     which is contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-B filed March
     16, 1990 pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

     (e)  The description of the Company's Preferred Shares Purchase Rights
     contained in the Company's Amendment on Form 8 to Registration Statement on
     Form 8-A, filed November 12, 1992 pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange
     Act.

     All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),
13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective
amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which
deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be
incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be part hereof
from the date of filing such documents.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not Applicable.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the "Securities
Act").  Further, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of
the Company to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of such director's fiduciary duty of care in certain instances.
Article VI of the Bylaws of the Company provides for indemnification of certain
agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Persons covered by this indemnification provision include current and former
directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Company, as well as
persons who serve at the request of the Company as directors, officers,
employees or agents of another enterprise.

                                      II-2


<PAGE>

     In addition, the Company has entered into contractual agreements with each
director and certain officers designated by the Board to indemnify such
individuals to the full extent permitted by law.  These agreements also resolve
certain procedural and substantive matters that are not covered, or are covered
in less detail, in the Bylaws or by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

        Not Applicable.

Item 8. EXHIBITS.

        The following Exhibits are filed as part of, or incorporated by
reference into, this Registration Statement:

        4.1    Alias Research Inc.'s 1988 Employee Share Ownership Plan option
               agreement.

        4.2    Alias Research Inc.'s 1989 Employee Share Ownership Plan option
               agreement.

        4.3    Alias Research Inc.'s 1990 Employee Share Ownership Plan and
               standard forms of option agreements.

        4.4    Alias Research Inc.'s 1994 Stock Plan and standard forms of
               option agreements.

        5.1    Opinion of counsel as to legality of securities being registered.

        23.1   Consent of Independent Auditors (see page II-8).

        23.2   Consent of Counsel (contained in Exhibit 5.1).

        24.1   Power of Attorney (see page II-6).


Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

        A.     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        B.     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      II-3

<PAGE>

        C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the foregoing Bylaw provisions or the Company's
indemnification agreements, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company in a successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has already been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

               INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.  INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

     The following documents and information heretofore filed by Silicon
Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission are
hereby incorporated by reference:

     (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     June 30, 1994, filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange
     Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (b)  The Company's Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended

     to Section 13 of the Exchange Act.

     (c)  The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 1995,
     filed pursuant to Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
     amended (the "Exchange Act").

     (d)  The description of the Company's Common Stock to be offered hereby
     which is contained in its Registration Statement on Form 8-B filed March
     16, 1990 pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

     (e)  The description of the Company's Preferred Shares Purchase Rights

     All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a),

amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which

from the date of filing such documents.

Item 4.  DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

     Not Applicable.

Item 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

     Not Applicable.

Item 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to
award, or a corporation's Board of Directors to grant, indemnity to directors
and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under
certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses
incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1993, as amended (the "Securities
Act").  Further, in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law, the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of
the Company to the Company and its stockholders for monetary damages for
breaches of such director's fiduciary duty of care in certain instances.
Article VI of the Bylaws of the Company provides for indemnification of certain
agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Persons covered by this indemnification provision include current and former
directors, officers, employees and other agents of the Company, as well as
persons who serve at the request of the Company as directors, officers,
employees or agents of another enterprise.

                                      II-2
In addition, the Company has entered into contractual agreements with each
director and certain officers designated by the Board to indemnify such
individuals to the full extent permitted by law.  These agreements also resolve
certain procedural and substantive matters that are not covered, or are covered
in less detail, in the Bylaws or by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Item 7. EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

        Not Applicable.

Item 8. EXHIBITS.

        The following Exhibits are filed as part of, or incorporated by

        4.2    Alias Research Inc.'s 1989 Employee Share Ownership Plan option
               agreement.

        4.3    Alias Research Inc.'s 1990 Employee Share Ownership Plan and
               standard forms of option agreements.

        4.4    Alias Research Inc.'s 1994 Stock Plan and standard forms of
               option agreements.

        5.1    Opinion of counsel as to legality of securities being registered.

        23.1   Consent of Independent Auditors (see page II-8).

        23.2   Consent of Counsel (contained in Exhibit 5.1).

        24.1   Power of Attorney (see page II-6).

Item 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

        A.     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

               (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

        B.     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                                      II-3
C.     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation, the foregoing Bylaw provisions or the Company's
indemnification agreements, the Company has been informed that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.  In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Company in a successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the question has already been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication
of such issue.

                                      II-4
