Re:

Solicitation fee to be paid by Silicon Graphics, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Silicon Graphics, Inc. (the "Company") is offering, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the prospectus dated April 21, 2003 (the "Original Prospectus"), the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal"), and the prospectus supplements dated May 22, June 30 and July 16, 2003 (the "Prospectus Supplements"), which together constitute the Company's offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") $1,000 principal amount of its 11.75% Senior Notes Due 2009 (the "New Notes") or $1,000 principal amount of its 6.50% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2009 (the "New Convertible Notes") for each $1,000 principal amount of the Company's outstanding 5.25% Senior Convertible Notes Due 2004 (the "Old Notes").

        Old Notes may be tendered for New Notes, for New Convertible Notes or for any combination thereof. If more than $78 million aggregate principal amount of Old Notes are tendered for New Convertible Notes, the Company will accept Old Notes for exchange on a prorated basis. Old Notes not accepted for exchange for New Convertible Notes because of proration will be exchanged for New Notes.

        The Exchange Offer is subject to various conditions set forth in the Original Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplements, including that at least 85% of the outstanding principal amount of Old Notes be validly tendered and not withdrawn by the expiration of the Exchange Offer.

        Pursuant to the Letter of Transmittal, each tendering holder of Old Notes will represent to, and agree with, the Company that (1) the holder agrees to all of the terms of the Exchange Offer, (2) the holder is the owner of the Old Notes tendered for exchange, (3) the holder has full power and authority to tender, exchange, sell, assign and transfer the Old Notes tendered, (4) when the Old Notes are accepted for exchange, the Company will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title thereto, free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges and encumbrances, and that the Old Notes tendered hereby are not subject to any adverse claims or proxies, and (5) the holder will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Company or the Exchange Agent to be necessary or desirable to complete the exchange, assignment and transfer of the Old Notes tendered.

        We are requesting that you contact clients for whom you hold Old Notes regarding the Exchange Offer and we will pay brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the Exchange Offer a solicitation fee (a "Soliciting Dealer Fee"). A Soliciting Dealer Fee will be payable only with respect to tenders by beneficial holders of $250,000 or less principal amount of Old Notes and only with respect to tenders that are accepted in the Exchange Offer.

        The amount of the fee to be paid with respect to tenders that are accepted in the Exchange Offer will be $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes solicited from beneficial holders of more than $50,000 and less than $250,000 principal amount of Old Notes and $5.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes solicited from beneficial holders of $50,000 principal amount or less of Old Notes.
