A benchmarking comparison of Solaris 10 and Windows XP (64bit) running on a Sun Ultra 20 M2 Dual Core Opteron 1210 workstation. "Overall, I'm pleased with the performance of the Sun Ultra 20 M2. While this model (with an Opteron 1210) isn't quite as fast as a low-end Mac Pro, it's less than half the price of a low-end Mac Pro. Models equipped with faster Opterons (like the Opteron 1218) will certainly be more competitive when it comes to performance."

If Sun's compilers are so great, maybe they should sell them on Windows...
You can download the Sun Studio compiler for free (If you want you can pay for support). Sorry, no Windows version. I am sure that if they did make a Windows version (unlikely), it would also be free.
