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.

NAME
jdresolve - resolves IP addresses into hostnames SYNOPSIS
jdresolve [-h] [-v] [-n] [-r] [-a] [-d <level>] [-m <mask>] [-l <line cache>] [-t <timeout>] [-p] [-s <number of sockets>] [--database=<db path>] <LOG FILE> jdresolve [--help] [--version] [--nostats] [--recursive] [--anywhere] [--debug=<level>] [--mask=<mask>] [--linecache=<line cache>] [--timeout=<timeout>] [--sockets=<number of sockets>] [--database=<db path>] [--dbfirst] [--dbonly] [--dumpdb] [--mergedb] [--expiredb=<hours>] [--unresolved] [--progress] <LOG FILE> DESCRIPTION
jdresolve resolves IP addresses to hostnames. Any file format is supported, including those where the line does not begin with the IP address. One of the strongest features of the program is the support for recursion, which can drastically reduce the number of unresolved hosts by faking a hostname based on the network that the IP belongs to. DNS queries are sent in parallel, which means that you can decrease run time by increasing the number of simultaneous sockets used (given a fast enough machine and available bandwidth ). By using the database support, performance can be increased even further, by using cached data from previous runs. OPTIONS
-h, --help produces a short help message -v, --version display version information -n, --nostats don't display stats after processing -r, --recursive recurse into C, B and A classes when there is no PTR (default is no recursion) -d, --debug=<debug-level> debug mode - no file output, just statistics during run (verbosity level range: 1-3) -t, --timeout=<seconds> timeout in seconds for each host resolution (default is 30 seconds) -l, --line-cache=<lines> numbers of lines to cache in memory (default is 10000 -s, --sockets=<sockets> maximum number of concurrent sockets (use ulimit -a to check the max allowed for your operating system - defaults to 64) -m, --mask=<mask> <mask> accepts %i for IP and %c for class owner, e.g. "somewhere.in.%c" or "%i.in.%c" (default is "%i.%c") -a, --anywhere resolves IPs found anywhere on a line (will resolve all IPs if there is more than one) -p, --progress prints a nice progress bar indicating the status of the resolve operations --database=<db path> path to database that holds resolved hosts/classes --dbfirst check if we have resolved entries in the database before sending out DNS queries --dbonly don't send DNS queries, use only resolved data in the database --dumpdb dumps a database to STDOUT --mergedb merges resolved IP/classes from a file (or STDIN) with a database --expiredb=<hours> expires entries in the database that are older than <hours> hours --unresolved won't attempt to resolve IPs, only lists those that were not resolved <LOG FILE> the log filename or '-' for STDIN EXAMPLES
