In February 1996, SGI purchased the well-known supercomputer manufacturer Cray Research for $740 million[http://www.forbes.com/2000/03/03/mu4.html], and began to use marketing names such as "CrayLink" for (SGI-developed) technology integrated into the SGI server line. Three months later, it sold the SPARC/Solaris part of the Cray business to Sun Microsystems for an undisclosed amount (widely assumed to be $50 million). SGI sold most of the remaining Cray business and the Cray brand to Tera Computer Company on March 31, 2000 for $35 million plus one million shares[http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/stories/2002/11/18/focus2.html]. SGI also distributed its remaining interest in [[MIPS Technologies]] through a spin-off effective June 20, 2000.
