windows on an SGI Octane/IRIX 6.5

I have an SGI Octane. Can I run Windows XP Pro on it?I would like to use SolidWorks and Catia V5, as well as regular productivity software, on this hardware. I have been told that It is very good for design work. Though it is dated it apparently still has some use out of it. I am just trying to find out if I can run Windows XP Pro or even 2000. Thanks for your help.

This is an old Boeing Surplus Machine.
SGI Octane
Model #: cmnb015anf250
No Hard Drive. Picking up original 18 GB HD for it. soon.
