ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
         AND FINANCIAL CONDITION.

THE  MATTERS ADDRESSED IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q, WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF   THE  HISTORICAL  INFORMATION  PRESENTED,  ARE  FORWARD-
LOOKING  STATEMENTS INVOLVING  RISKS  AND  UNCERTAINTIES, INCLUDING THE RISKS
DISCUSSED  UNDER  THE HEADING "FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS" AND
ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Silicon  Graphics uses a financial target model to develop its annual
operating plans and to evaluate investment alternatives, business proposals
and operations throughout  the fiscal year.  This model expresses the
Company's objectives  for gross margins, operating expenses, and operating
profit as a percentage of total revenues.   The  model  also incorporates
target ranges for  the  allocation  of spending   between   research  and
development,  and   selling,   general   and administrative expenses.

The  Company's  current  model includes the following financial  targets  (as
a percentage of total revenues):

<TABLE>

     <S>                                           <C>     <C>
     Gross margin                                  50.5% - 52.5%
     Research and development                      11.0% - 13.0%
     Selling, general and administrative           26.0% - 28.0%
                                                   -------------
     Operating margin                              11.5% - 13.5%

</TABLE>


The  financial target model reflects a number of assumptions.  The gross
margin target  range  reflects  assumptions about the Company's pricing,
manufacturing costs and volumes, and the mix of products, distribution
channels and geographic distribution.   The  operating  expense ranges were
established  based  on  the Company's  beliefs  about  the levels of research
and development  necessary  to develop leading-edge products for its markets,
the levels of sales and marketing expenses  appropriate to support its
channels of distribution and the levels  of general and administrative
spending appropriate for the size and nature  of  the business.  Many other
factors affect the Company's financial performance and may cause  the
Company's  future  results to be  markedly  outside  of  the  ranges
reflected in the target model.

The  financial target model is one management tool that the Company uses to
run its  business  and  measure its performance.  IT IS NOT A PREDICTION  OF
FUTURE RESULTS, although many of the Company's forward-looking statements
contained  in this  report  are  expressed in the context of the  target
model.   The  actual results  for  any  particular period, including the
current  quarter,  may  vary substantially from the model for numerous
reasons including but not  limited  to the  Company's ability to attain
planned revenue growth.  See "Factors That  May Affect  Future Results."
Also, in certain periods the Company may intentionally operate  outside the
model.  In addition, the financial target model  itself  is subject  to
revision  from time to time to reflect new strategies,  competitive changes
or other developments.

The  financial  target model is described above to provide a framework  for
the Company's  discussion  and analysis of its results of operations.   The
Company does  not intend to provide updated information about its planning
model or  its performance  relative to the model in any period, other than in
the  context  of management's discussion and analysis in the Company's
Quarterly Reports on  Form 10-Q.

REVENUES.   The Company's product and other revenues are derived primarily
from shipment  of  computer  system products, with subsystem and  software
revenues, license  fees, and non-recurring engineering (NRE) contract
payments  comprising the  remainder.   Service revenue is comprised of
hardware and software  support and maintenance.

The  Company's revenues grew 22% over the year ago quarter due to increased
unit shipments, particularly of the Company's desktop products, and increased
service revenue  from a larger installed base of products under contract.
The  revenue growth  rate for the second quarter represented a substantial
decrease from  the Company's  recent growth rates of 33% for the first
quarter of fiscal  1996  and 45% for fiscal 1995.

The Company believes that revenue growth was adversely affected by a
combination of  factors.  Demand for the Company's high-end products,
particularly the  Onyx graphics  supercomputers, was affected by the
anticipated  introduction  of  new high-end  products  in  the  third
quarter, and as  a  result  desktop  products represented  a  higher
percentage of product  revenue  as  compared  to  recent quarters.   The  new
high-end  products are  expected  to  have  their  initial shipments  in
the  third quarter, with higher volumes in  the  fourth  quarter, subject  to
the risks and uncertainties inherent in the process of new  product
development   and   introduction.   The  uncertainty  and  temporary
shutdowns associated  with the U.S. budget impasse affected the Company's
U.S.  government business.   The  Company expects that the lingering
uncertainty associated  with the  budget  process  will continue to affect
its third  quarter  results.   The expansion and

<PAGE>

reorganization of the Company's sales organization over the  prior three
quarters continued to affect productivity in the second quarter.  Sales to
OEM  (original equipment manufacturers) customers were lower than  in  the
same quarter a year ago.

In the desktop product category, revenue from the Indigo(2) family of
workstations grew at a faster rate than the Company's overall revenue growth
rate, reflecting customer  acceptance of the Indigo(2) IMPACT-TM- products
announced in  July  1995 for  initial shipment in the first and second
quarters of fiscal 1996.   Indigo(2) Impact  models  shipped  at higher
volumes than in the  first  quarter,  as  the Company continued to ramp up to
full volume manufacturing of these new products. However, the Company was not
able to ship all orders received and had a  backlog of Indigo(2) Impact
orders at the end of the quarter.  The Company expects to ship its full line
of Indigo(2) IMPACT products in volume in the third quarter, subject to  the
risks  and  uncertainties  inherent  in  the  process  of  new  product
development  and introduction.  The Company's revenue from the  Indy  family
of desktop products grew less than the Company's overall revenue growth rate.

The  Company's North American business revenues increased 10% over the year
ago quarter.   European revenues were up 29% from the year ago quarter,  with
lower than  anticipated  revenue  growth in the major countries  also
reflecting  the impact  of  economic and government spending issues.  Pacific
(including  Latin America)  revenues  were up 43% from the same quarter a
year ago,  with  revenue from Japan unchanged as a percentage of total
revenues at approximately 12%  for the  quarter.   Fluctuations  in  the
value of  the  dollar  versus  most  major currencies had a slight favorable
impact on revenues for the current quarter  as compared  to  the  same
quarter in fiscal 1995, but had  a  slight  unfavorable revenue impact when
compared against the first quarter of fiscal 1996.

GROSS  MARGIN.  The Company's gross margins for the second quarter and  for
the first  six  months of fiscal 1996 decreased as compared to the same
periods  in fiscal 1995.  The gross margin for the second quarter of 50.7%
was significantly lower  than recent quarters and at the low-end of the
Company's target model  of 50.5  -  52.5%.   Gross  margins were affected by
discounts  and  other  pricing pressures,  as  well as the shift in product
mix to desktop products,  partially offset  by  the  shift in geographic mix
to international  sales.   The  revenue shortfall also affected gross
margins, because manufacturing overhead was spread over fewer units.

OPERATING MARGIN.  The Company's operating margin for the second quarter and
for the  first  six months of fiscal 1996 was significantly lower than in
the  same periods  in fiscal 1995.  Operating expenses grew 33% for the first
quarter  and 34%  for the first six months of fiscal 1996 as compared to the
same periods  in fiscal  1995.   Selling  expenses increased at  a  faster
rate  than  operating expenses  generally,  reflecting investments in the
sales force  over  the  last several  quarters  and  higher marketing
expenses as  the  Company  prepared  to introduce  new products.  The
combination of these factors with the  lower  than anticipated  growth  in
revenues resulted in operating margin  for  the  second quarter of 9.8%,
below the Company's target model of 11.5% - 13.5%.  In response to  the
lower revenue growth rate, the Company has implemented expense  control
measures,  including  a  significant reduction  in  new  hiring.   However,
due principally  to  the  hiring and other investments made in the  latter
half  of fiscal  1995  and  the  first quarter of fiscal 1996,  the
Company's  operating expenses in the current quarter are not expected to be
lower than in the  second quarter of fiscal 1996.  As a consequence, a rate
of revenue growth higher  than in  the  second  quarter  will be required to
return  operating  margin  to  the Company's target model.

OTHER  RESULTS.  Interest income (expense) and other, net for the second
quarter of  fiscal  1996 was $6.7 million, reflecting an increase compared to
the  prior year  due  to larger invested cash balances net of borrowings and
higher  yields and realized gains on the Company's cash portfolio in fiscal
1996, offset by the Company's  share of the quarterly loss realized by
Interactive Digital Solutions ("IDS"), its joint venture with AT&T, and due
to the $7.3 million charge in  the second quarter of fiscal 1995 relating to
the revaluation of the Company's long-term  investment  in Control Data
Systems, Inc. ("CDSI").  The  Company  expects interest income and other,
net to be significantly lower for the rest of  fiscal 1996,  due to lower

<PAGE>

interest rates on the reinvestment of cash from the sale  of investments  in
the  second quarter, the use of cash for the  stock  repurchase program, and
losses expected to be realized by IDS.  Interest income and  other, net  for
the  first six months of fiscal 1996 was $13.0 million, reflecting  an
increase  compared to the first six months of fiscal 1995 due to gains
realized in  fiscal  1996 on the Company's cash portfolio and the $7.3
million charge  in fiscal 1995 resulting from the revaluation of the
Company's investment in CDSI.

TAXES.   The Company's combined federal, state and foreign effective income
tax rate  was  28% for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 and 29% for the
first  six months of fiscal 1996.  These rates were calculated based on an
estimated annual effective tax rate applied to income before income taxes.
The tax rate for  the same  periods  of  fiscal 1995 was 29%.  The Company
does not provide  for  U.S. federal income taxes on undistributed earnings of
foreign subsidiaries, which it intends to reinvest permanently in those
operations.

Based on the Company's plans, it believes that current levels of taxable
income, adjusted for non-recurring items, will be sufficient to realize its
deferred tax assets.  Accordingly, the Company has determined that no
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is required to reduce such assets
to an amount which is more likely  than  not  to be realized either through
carrybacks,  or  by  offsetting deferred tax liabilities or future taxable
income.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

During  the  first  six  months  of fiscal 1996, the  Company's  cash  and
cash equivalents  and  marketable investments decreased by  $85  million.
Cash  was principally  used  for capital expenditures of $101 million  and
to  repurchase 1,350,000  shares  of common stock for $44 million for use
under  the  Company's employee  stock plans, which provided $41 million
during the same period.   Cash flows  from  operating activities were $43
million for the first six  months  of fiscal 1996 as compared to $133 million
for the first six months of fiscal 1995. The  decrease in cash flows from
operating activities in fiscal 1996 as compared to  fiscal  1995  principally
reflects the impact of  significant  increases  in accounts payable and other
liabilities in the fiscal 1995 period.

As  of  December 31, 1995, the Company's principal sources of liquidity
included cash and cash equivalents, and marketable investments of $695
million and up  to $20  million  available under a committed line of credit.
These resources,  and others  available  to  the Company, should be adequate
to  fund  the  Company's projected  cash  needs,  including the stock
repurchase program,  beyond  fiscal 1996.   The  Company  believes  that the
level  of  financial  resources  is  an important  competitive  factor in the
computer industry,  and  accordingly,  may elect to raise additional capital
in anticipation of future needs.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

Silicon  Graphics  operates in a rapidly changing environment  that  involves
a number  of risks, some of which are beyond the Company's control.  The
following discussion highlights some of these risks.

PERIOD  TO  PERIOD FLUCTUATIONS.  The Company's operating results may
fluctuate for  a number of reasons.  The Company has short delivery cycles
and as a result does  not  have  a large order backlog, which makes the
forecasting  of  revenue inherently  uncertain.   This uncertainty is
compounded because  each  quarter's revenue  results predominantly from
orders booked and shipped during  the  third month,  and  disproportionately
in the latter half of that month.   Because  the Company plans its operating
expenses, many of which are relatively fixed in  the short  term,  on  the
basis that its revenues will continue  to  grow,  even  a relatively  small
revenue  shortfall  may  cause  a  period's  results  to   be substantially
below expectations.  Such a revenue shortfall could arise from any number  of
factors,  including lower than expected demand, supply  constraints, delays
in  the  availability  of new products, transit  interruptions,  overall
economic conditions or natural disasters.  Margins are heavily influenced by
mix considerations, including geographical mix, the mix of service and
non-recurring engineering  revenues, the mix of high-

<PAGE>

end and desktop products and  application software and the mix of
configurations within these product categories.

The Company's results have followed a seasonal pattern, with stronger
sequential growth  in the second and fourth fiscal quarters, reflecting the
buying patterns of the Company's customers.

The  Company's stock price, like that of other technology companies, is
subject to  significant volatility.  If revenues or earnings in any quarter
fail to meet the  investment community's expectations, there could be an
immediate impact  on the  Company's  stock  price.  The stock price may also
be affected  by  broader market trends unrelated to the Company's performance.

MANAGEMENT  INFORMATION  SYSTEMS.  In January 1996,  the  Company  replaced
its current  information management system in the United States with a
comprehensive system  that  will be used to manage the entire revenue cycle,
including  order administration, billing and collection, as well as
manufacturing  and  finance.  The Company expects  that  this  system, when
fully  operational,  will  allow  it to  realize  significant  operational
efficiencies  and  facilitate  future growth, and  it  has  devoted
significant resources to system design, testing and training.  The Company
experienced  some initial  performance and response time problems.  System
adjustments implemented by  the  Company  and its  vendors  have  resulted
in  substantially  improved performance,  and  the Company believes that it
will be able to  carry  out  key operational  and reporting functions in the
current quarter.  The risk  remains, however, that the system will not
perform as anticipated, particularly as  usage increases in the latter part
of the quarter.

REVENUE  GROWTH.   In the latter half of fiscal 1995 and the  first  quarter
of fiscal 1996, the Company made substantial investments in its sales and
marketing organizations, in new research and development programs and
increased funding of existing  programs,  and  investments in corporate
infrastructure  required  to support  significant growth.  This plan involved
a number of risks, including  a higher   level   of  operating  expenses,
the  difficulty  of  attracting   and assimilating  a  large number of new
employees, and the complexities  associated with managing a larger and faster
growing organization.

In  the  first  six  months of fiscal 1996, the Company's  revenue  growth
rate decreased  to 27% over the prior year period, and operating margins
moved  below the  Company's target model.  A number of the factors that the
Company  believes have resulted in slower revenue growth, such as product
transition issues, sales force  productivity,  and  economic  issues  in  the
U.S.  and  major  European countries, are likely to continue to affect the
Company's revenue growth for the balance  of  the  fiscal year.  Although the
Company has planned  the  near-term growth   in  its  operating  expenses  on
the  basis  of  its  current  revenue expectations, operating expenses are
not expected to be lower than in the second quarter.   As a consequence, a
higher rate of revenue growth than in the  second quarter  will  be  required
to return operating margins to the  low-end  of  the target model.

PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT AND INTRODUCTION.  The Company has in recent years
achieved revenue growth and profitability that are well above average within
the computer industry  because  it  has  been able to develop and  rapidly
bring  to  volume production   highly  differentiated,  technologically
complex  and   innovative products.   The Company's future results depend on
its ability to  sustain  this competitive  advantage.  The Company is in the
midst of significant new  product introductions  planned  for  fiscal 1996
and the  first  half  of  fiscal  1997, including  products that replace
products in the Company's high-end and  desktop offerings.  A number of risks
are inherent in this process.

The  development  of  new  technology and products is increasingly  complex
and uncertain,  which  increases the risk of delays.   The  introduction  of
a  new computer   system  requires  close  collaboration  and  continued
technological advancement  involving multiple hardware and software design
and  manufacturing teams within the Company as well as teams at outside
suppliers of key components such  as  semiconductor and storage products.
The failure of any one  of  these elements  could  cause the Company's new
products to

<PAGE>

fail to meet specifications or  to  miss  the  aggressive timetables that the
Company establishes.   As  the variety  and complexity of the Company's
product families increase, the  process of planning production and inventory
levels also becomes more difficult.

Short product life cycles place a premium on the Company's ability to manage
the transition from current products to new products.  In order to minimize
product transition  issues, the Company generally announces new products  in
the  early part of a quarter, while the product is in the final stages of
development,  and seeks  to  manufacture and ship the product in volume in
the same quarter.   The Company's results could be adversely affected by such
factors as development  or manufacturing  delays,  variations in product
costs,  and  delays  in  customer purchases  of  existing  products in
anticipation of  the  introduction  of  new products.

INTERNATIONAL  OPERATIONS.  Because approximately half or more of the
Company's revenues are from sales outside the United States, and many key
components  are produced  outside the United States, the Company's results
could  be  negatively affected  by  such  factors  as  changes  in  foreign
currency  exchange  rates (international sales are generally denominated in
foreign currencies, while  the Company's  accounts  are  in  U.S. dollars),
trade protection  measures,  longer accounts  receivable  collection
patterns, changes  in  regional  or  worldwide economic  or political
conditions, or natural disasters.  For example, a  marked short-term
appreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the Japanese yen  or
German mark could adversely affect the Company's results.  The Company's
sales to foreign customers also are subject to export regulations, with sales
of some  of the Company's high-end products requiring clearance and export
licenses from  the  U.S.  Department of Commerce.  The Company's export
sales  would  be adversely  affected  if such regulations were tightened,  or
if  they  are  not modified  over  time  to  reflect the increasing
performance  of  the  Company's products.

Sales in foreign countries are generally priced in local currencies and are
thus subject  to the effects of currency exchange fluctuations.  The Company
attempts to  reduce  the  impact (positive or negative) of currency
fluctuations  on  net income  primarily  through  the use of forward exchange
contracts  and  foreign currency options that hedge foreign currency
denominated receivables between the parent and its international
subsidiaries.  The Company has generally not hedged capital  expenditures,
investments in subsidiaries, inventory purchases  or  the anticipated  sales
of its international subsidiaries, although  it  periodically evaluates its
hedging practices.

DEVELOPMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF MIPS-Registered Trademark- RISC ARCHITECTURE.
All of  the  Company's system products incorporate microprocessors  based
upon  the Company's  MIPS  RISC  microprocessor architecture.  The  Company
licenses  the manufacturing  and  distribution  rights to these
microprocessors  to  selected semiconductor manufacturing companies.  The
Company believes that the  continued development  and broad acceptance of the
MIPS architecture are critical  to  its future success.

NEW  VENTURES.   The  Company  has  entered into  several  ventures  with
other companies  to  address new and emerging markets, including  ventures
with  Time Warner  Cable,  Nintendo, DreamWorks, AT&T and NTT.  While the
Company  believes that  these  new  ventures are strategically important,
there  are  substantial uncertainties  associated with the development of new
products and  technologies for evolving markets.  The success of these
ventures will be determined not only by the Company's efforts, but also by
those of its partners.  Initial timetables for  the  development and
introduction of new technologies, products or services may  not  be
achieved, and price/performance targets may  not  prove  feasible. External
factors,  such  as  the  development of  competitive  alternatives  or
government  regulation,  may  cause new markets to evolve  in  an
unanticipated direction.

In  January 1996, Nintendo announced that product shipments of the Ultra
64-TM- home video game system, to be shipped in Japan in April 1996, have been
deferred in  North  America until September 1996.

<PAGE>

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.  The Company routinely receives communications from
third parties  asserting  patent or other rights covering the Company's
products  and technologies.  Based upon the Company's evaluation, it may take
no action or  it may  seek to obtain a license.  In any given case there is a
risk that a license will  not be available on terms that the Company
considers reasonable,  or  that litigation  will ensue.  The Company
currently has patent infringement  lawsuits pending  against  it.  The
Company expects that, as the number of  hardware  and software  patents
issued continues to increase, and as the  Company's  business grows, the
volume of these intellectual property claims will also increase.

COMPETITION.    The  computer  industry  is  highly  competitive,   with
rapid technological  advances  and  constantly improving  price/performance.
As  the segments in which the Company operates continue to grow faster than
the industry as  a  whole,  the  Company is experiencing an increase in
competition,  and  it expects  this  trend  to continue.  This competition
comes  not  only  from  the Company's  traditional  UNIX  workstation rivals,
but  also  from  new  sources including  the  personal computer industry.
Many of the  Company's  competitors have substantially greater technical,
marketing and financial resources and,  in some  segments,  a  larger
installed base of customers  and  a  wider  range  of available
applications  software.   Competition  can  result  in   significant
discounting and lower gross margins.

EMPLOYEES.   The  Company's future success depends in part  on  its  ability
to continue  to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified technical,
marketing and management personnel, who are in great demand.

BUSINESS  DISRUPTION.   The  Company's  corporate  headquarters,  including
its research  and  development operations and most of its manufacturing
facilities, are  located  in the Silicon Valley area of Northern California,
a region  known for  seismic  activity.   Operating results could be
materially  affected  by  a significant  earthquake.  The Company is
predominantly self-insured  for  losses and business interruptions of this
kind.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is defending a patent infringement case filed against it in the
U.S. District  Court  for  the  Middle  District of  Florida  (Orlando
Division)  in September  1995  by Martin Marietta Corp.  The Company has
filed a  counterclaim seeking  a declaratory judgment that the Martin
Marietta patent is invalid.   On November  9,  1995,  Martin Marietta filed a
request for re-examination  of  its patent  with  the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office (the "PTO"), which  has  been granted.  Martin Marietta
also filed a motion with the District Court seeking to stay the litigation
pending the outcome of the patent re-examination by the PTO. Martin
Marietta's motion to stay the litigation was opposed by the Company  and
denied by the District Court on December 12, 1995.  The District Court has
set a trial date for the lawsuit in February 1998.

The  Company  has been named as a defendant in a putative class  action
lawsuit entitled DEANNA BRODY, ET. AL. V. EDWARD R. MCCRACKEN, ET. AL., which
was  filed on  January  29,  1996 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District  of California.  Certain current and former executive officers and
directors of  the Company  are  also named as defendants.  The plaintiffs
purport to  represent  a class of all persons who purchased the Company's
common stock between October 19 and  December  29,  1995 (the "Class"
Period").  The complaint alleges  that  the defendants  violated  various
federal securities laws  and  California  statutes through material
misrepresentations and omissions during the Class Period.   The Company
believes it has good defenses to the claims alleged in this lawsuit  and is
defending itself vigorously against this action.

                               CONSULTING AGREEMENT


     This Consulting Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of the date  set
forth  below  by  and  between Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the  "Company")  and
Tom Oswold, ("Consultant").

                                    RECITALS

     Consultant has been employed by the Company since 1988 and has most
recently  served  in  the  capacity of Vice President,  Finance  and
Treasurer. Consultant  wishes to resign in order to pursue other personal
interests.   The Company  wishes  to  have Consultant remain available to
contribute  to  certain projects and activities of the Company.  Accordingly,
the Company and Consultant have  agreed that Consultant will change his
relationship with the Company  from that  of  an  employee to that of a
consultant on the terms set  forth  in  this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENT

     In consideration of the mutual promises made herein, the Company and
Consultant hereby agree as follows:


     1.   SEPARATION AGREEMENT.  Consultant and Company have entered into a
letter agreement dated contemporaneously herewith (the "Separation
Agreement") governing  the terms of Consultant's resignation as an officer
and  employee  of Company  effective  as  of  the close of business  on
December  29,  1995  (the "Effective Separation Date").

     2.   CONSULTING RELATIONSHIP.

          (a)  Commencing immediately after the Effective Separation Date and
continuing through September 3, 1996 (the "Consulting Period"),  Consultant
shall serve as an independent consultant to the Company.

          (b)  During the Consulting Period, Consultant shall (i) assist the
Chief  Financial Officer of the Company during the transition period  until
Consultant's successor begins work at the Company; (ii) handle special
projects with  respect to treasury matters identified by the Chief Financial
Officer  of the  Company; and (iii) provide such other reasonable services as
are agreed  to by  Consultant  and  the  Company.  Consultant  will  be
available  during  the Consulting  Period  for  such reasonable hours on an
as  needed  basis  as  are mutually  agreed  upon  by  the parties.  It is
expected  that  such  consulting services  may  be  full-time during certain
times during the Consulting  Period.


                                        -1-

<PAGE>


Consultant  shall at all times be an independent contractor to the Company,
and nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute
Consultant as an agent, employee or representative of the Company.

          (c)   Consultant may terminate the consulting relationship  at any
time  before the end of the Consulting Period, for any or no  reason,  upon
written notice to the Company.  The consulting relationship shall also
terminate automatically if Consultant becomes employed in a full time
capacity during  the Consulting  Period.  Upon any termination, the Company
shall have no  obligation to  pay  Monthly  Consulting  Period Fees or other
benefits  hereunder  accruing thereafter.

     3.   COMPENSATION.

          (a)   In  consideration for Consultant's agreement to  provide
consulting  services  during the Consulting Period as provided  herein  and
his faithful  adherence to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  the
Company shall pay Consultant a Monthly Consulting Fee equal to one-twelfth of
the annual base  salary  that  Consultant was earning as of the Effective
Separation  Date. Such compensation shall be paid in monthly installments
(prorated in the case of December  1995,  and adjusted if necessary if
Consultant has otherwise  received salary  payments  from the Company in
respect of any portion of  the  Consulting Period)  within ten business days
after receipt of Consultant's monthly invoice, but no earlier than the tenth
business day of each month.

          (b)  The attached Stock Option Personnel Summary sets forth the
details  concerning  all outstanding options to purchase  Common  Stock  of
the Company  held  by  Consultant.  It is understood  and  agreed  that
during  the Consulting Period, such options shall remain outstanding and
continue vesting at their normal rate.

          (c)   CONSULTANT IS ADVISED THAT AS A RESULT OF THE CONVERSION OF
HIS  STATUS FROM EMPLOYEE TO CONSULTANT, ANY ISOS (INCENTIVE STOCK  OPTIONS)
WILL  BECOME NON-STATUTORY OPTIONS (NSOS), TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE NOT
EXERCISED WITHIN NINETY (90) DAYS AFTER THE DATE CONSULTANT CEASES TO BE AN
EMPLOYEE.   If Consultant's consulting relationship terminates for any
reason, then all vesting shall  immediately  stop, and Consultant's or his
estate's ability  to  exercise such  options  shall be governed by the terms
of each of the  respective  option agreements therefor.

          (d)   The  Company  agrees that the computer,  car  phone  and
facsimile machine located in Consultant's residence shall become the property
of Consultant upon the execution of this Agreement, but any ongoing fees,
expenses, etc., related to such equipment are the sole responsibility of
Consultant.

          (e)  During the Consulting Period, the Company shall provide to
Consultant  medical, dental and vision continuation benefits through  COBRA
and the  Company shall pay the COBRA premiums only during the Consulting
Period  or until the earlier termination of the Consulting Period as
specified herein.

                                        -2-

          (f)   The  Company will directly pay or reimburse  Consultant, upon
receipt  of  the appropriate verification, for (i) out-of-pocket  expenses
incurred  in  connection with services performed by Consultant,  to  the
extent provided  for in the Company's expense reimbursement guidelines, and
(ii)  1995 individual  annual tax preparation services, to the extent
provided for  in  the Company's Executive Perquisite guidelines.

          (g)    Other  than the provisions set forth herein, Consultant has
no expectation of, and shall make no other claims for payment or any  other
compensation or benefits from SGI.

     4.    CONFIDENTIAL  INFORMATION.   Consultant  shall  continue  to
maintain the confidentiality of all confidential and proprietary information
of the  Company  pursuant  to,  and shall continue to comply  with  all
terms  and conditions  of,  the  Proprietary Information and  Invention
Agreement  between Consultant  and the Company (the "Confidentiality
Agreement").  Such obligations shall survive any termination of Consultant's
consulting relationship.

     5.   TAX CONSEQUENCES.  Consultant acknowledges that he is obligated to
report  as income all compensation received by Consultant pursuant  to  this
Agreement, and Consultant acknowledges his obligation to pay all federal,
state or local income, self-employment or other taxes relating to such
compensation or any amounts realized upon exercise of Consultant's options,
and any penalties or assessments  thereon.  Except as referred to in section
3(c), the Company  gives no opinions and makes no representations with
respect to the potential or actual tax  consequences  or liabilities, if any,
associated with the  payment  of  any amounts to Consultant under the terms
of this Agreement or the continued vesting of  Consultant's options.
Consultant assumes sole responsibility  for  any  tax liability that results
from the payment of any compensation described herein.

     6.   NONSOLICITATION AGREEMENT.

          During the Consulting Period, Consultant agrees that he  shall not
directly  or  indirectly recruit or solicit any current  employees  of  the
Company to leave the employ of the Company.

     7.   TERM  AND TERMINATION.

          (a)  Consultant's consulting relationship may be terminated by the
Company  at  any  time if Consultant (i) willfully  fails  to  perform  the
consulting  services as reasonably requested by the Company, (ii)  violates
any material  provision of this Agreement, (iii) commits any act of moral
turpitude in connection with his performance of the consulting services, or
(iv) otherwise commits  any  willful, egregious or malicious act injurious to
the Company,  its business  or  reputation.  The Company shall give thirty
(30)  days  notice  to Consultant  of  the termination of the Agreement
pursuant to this paragraph  and shall  provide  Consultant with a reasonable
time within said  thirty  (30) day

                                        -3-

<PAGE>


period  in  which  to  respond  to  and cure  the  alleged  problem.   Any
such termination  by  the Company shall be in addition to and shall  not
affect  any other  remedies to which the Company may be entitled as a result
of  the  event leading to such termination.

          (c)  Notwithstanding the expiration and/or termination of this
Agreement,  the  provisions of Sections 4 (Confidentiality) and 8  (General)
by their terms, shall survive the expiration and/or termination of this
Agreement.

          (d)   WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS.  This Agreement may be  amended,
terminated  or extended, or the terms hereof may be waived, only  by  a
written instrument  signed by the parties.  No delay in exercising any  right

exercise of a right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or any
other right.

governed  by the laws of the State of California.  In the event of any

their  mutual  interests, attempt to reach  a  just  and  equitable solution
satisfactory  to  both parties.  If they do not reach such resolution  within
a period  of  sixty  (60) days, then upon written notice by either  party
to  the other, any unresolved dispute, claim  or  differences  shall  be
finally settled  by  confidential  arbitration administered  by  the
American Arbitration Association in accordance  with  the provisions   of
its  then  applicable  rules.   Either  party   may,   without inconsistency
with this Agreement, apply to any court having jurisdiction hereof and  seek
injunctive relief so as to maintain the status quo until such time  as the
arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.  The
site  of the arbitration shall be in the County of Santa Clara California.
Each party  shall  bear  its  own  costs and expenses  and  an  equal  share
of  the arbitrators' fees and administrative expenses of arbitration.

           (f)    ASSIGNMENT  AND  ASSUMPTION.   This   Agreement,   and
Consultant's  rights  and  obligations hereunder, are  personal  in  nature
and accordingly  may  not  be assigned by Consultant, except for  an
assignment  by Consultant  of  his rights to a corporation, trust,
partnership or  other  legal entity  established  by  him  for  personal
financial  or  tax  purposes.    If Consultant's consulting relationship
terminates by reason of death,  except  for all  stock option vesting
terminating, Consultant's estate's eligibility to  any outstanding
consulting compensation payment provided hereunder, shall  survive. This
Agreement and its rights, together with its obligations hereunder, shall be
assumed  by  the  successors in interest of the Company in connection  with
any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its
assets or business,  whether  by merger, consolidation or otherwise.   Such
successor  or assignee to the business or assets shall be bound by the terms
and provisions of this Agreement.

           (g)   COUNTERPARTS.   This  Agreement  may  be  executed   in
counterparts, and each counterpart shall have the same force and  effect  as

voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence on the part or  on
behalf of the parties hereto.  The parties acknowledge that:

                              ADDENDUM TO THE

                           SILICON GRAPHICS, INC.
                 NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN


     This  Addendum to the Silicon Graphics, Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") sets forth rules under which non-employee
members of  the Board of Directors of Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("Directors")
may elect  to have  amounts  deferred  under the Plan credited to the  Stock
Credit  Account. Amounts  credited to the Stock Credit Account shall be
subject to the provisions of this Addendum notwithstanding any Plan
provisions to the contrary, and in the event  of any inconsistency between
the terms of this Addendum and the terms  of the Plan, the terms of this
Addendum shall control.

                                 RECITALS

     1.    The  Company currently maintains the Plan for the benefit  of
certain employees of the Company and for the benefit of Directors.

     2.   The Company wishes to provide Directors who participate in the Plan
with  the opportunity to have deferred amounts converted into hypothetical
shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     3.    This Addendum is intended to modify the Plan as necessary  to
accommodate such hypothetical investment, provided that amounts credited to
the Stock  Credit  Account do not constitute derivative securities pursuant
to  the exclusion set forth in Rule 16a-1(c)(3)(ii) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

     NOW  THEREFORE, the Company hereby adopts this Addendum and  agrees that
the Plan shall be modified, as follows:

                                 SECTION 1
                                DEFINITIONS

    1.   DEFINITIONS.  Whenever the following words and phrases are used in
this  Addendum,  with  the first letter capitalized,  they  shall  have  the
meanings  specified below.  Other capitalized terms shall have such meanings
as are given to them under the Plan.


<PAGE>


     "ANNUAL ELECTION" means a Participating Director's irrevocable election
to  have  all  or a portion of Compensation deferred  under  the  Plan
credited  to  the Stock Credit Account in accordance with Section  2.2  of
this Addendum.

     "COMMON STOCK" means the Common Stock of the Company.

     "FAIR MARKET VALUE" means, as of any date, the average of  the closing
prices for a share of Common Stock on each business day during the  last
month of the previous calendar quarter as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
or a similar readily-available public source.

     "ONE-TIME   ELECTION"   means  a   Participating   Director's
irrevocable  election to transfer all or a portion of his or her  Plan
Account, valued  as  of  March  31,  1996,  into the Stock  Credit  Account
pursuant  to Section 2.1 of this Addendum.

     "PARTICIPATING DIRECTOR" means a Director who is a Participant in the
Plan.

                                SECTION 2
                   ALLOCATIONS TO STOCK CREDIT ACCOUNT

     2.1   ONE-TIME ELECTION.  If a Participating Director makes a  One-Time
Election, the Participant's Stock Credit Account shall be credited, as  of
April 1, 1996, with Common Stock credits equal to the number of shares of
Common Stock  (including  fractions of a share rounded to no  more  than
four  decimal places)  that could have been purchased with the amount of
deferred Compensation (together with predicted earnings) transferred from the
Participating Director's Plan  Account  pursuant to the Participating
Director's One-Time Election.   The purchase price used to determine the
number of stock credits attributable to the Stock  Credit  Account shall be
the Fair Market Value of  the  Common  Stock  on January 1, 1996.

     2.2   ANNUAL  ELECTIONS.  A Participant's  Annual  Election  for  a
calendar  year shall be made, in such form as the Committee shall prescribe,
on or  prior  to  the December 15 preceding such calendar year; provided,
however, that any individual who first becomes a Participating Director
during a calendar year  may  make  an  Annual  Election within 30 days
following  the  date  such individual  first  becomes  a Director.  If a
Participating  Director  makes  an Annual  Election,  the Participating
Director's Stock Credit  Account  shall  be credited,  as  of  the first day
of each calendar quarter of the  next  calendar year,  with a Common Stock
credit equal to the number of shares of Common  Stock (including  fractions
of a share rounded to no more than four  decimal  places) that could

                                        -2-

have been purchased with the amount of Compensation deferred for such
quarter.   The  purchase  price used to determine the number  of  stock
credits attributable to the Stock Credit Account shall be the Fair Market
Value  of  the Common Stock on the first day of such calendar quarter.

     2.3  ELECTION CHANGES.  A Participating Director's One-Time Election and
Annual  Elections shall be irrevocable, and no modifications  to  any  such
Election may be made.

                                SECTION 3
                              DISTRIBUTIONS

     DISTRIBUTION OF STOCK CREDIT ACCOUNT.  Notwithstanding anything  in the
Plan  to  the  contrary, distributions of a Participating Director's  Stock
Credit  Account  shall be made in cash, and shall be made in a  single
lump-sum payment within 30 days after the Participating Director ceases to be
a Director; provided,  however, that at least six months must elapse between
a Participating Director's  One-Time Election and the date of distribution to
that Participating Director  of  amounts transferred to the Stock Credit
Account pursuant  to  such Election.  The amount of the distribution of the
Stock Credit Account  shall  be determined by multiplying the number of
shares of Common Stock credited  to  the Participating Director's Stock
Credit Account and to be distributed by the  Fair Market  Value of the Common
Stock as of the cessation of services as a Director. Notwithstanding any Plan
provisions to the contrary, no distributions of or with respect to a
Participating Director's Stock Credit Account may be made while the
