SGI uses a beautiful font for all their ads and their website.... I've tried comparing it and searching for it on the "What the Font" website... but they do not have it listed and nobody in the forms there seems to know either. Anybody know what style font that is? (A close font style is cocaine)

It was custom-drawn for SGI by a font designer named Joe Stitzlein. You won't find it for sale anywhere, as far as I know.

I'll check around, I did an ad for them a while back, but it was probably just a sub for the real thing...

It's a windows executable that will install both... I installed it on a Virtual PC XPt VM and then extracted the True Type font set and copied it over to font book for OS X.
