It is easy for all of us to make recommendation without knowing all the facts. I too is facing the dilema of going to R55 to NGx R61/R65. We are running on Sun iForce platforms (intel not SPARC) and we are going to either to go with Sun new M2 platforms or Dell. Problem is that this company is running nothing but Sun and not Dell or HP. Therefore, we have no choice but to go with sun due to the support the company has. What makes you think that the Sun platforms is not Intel/AMD?

DO you think could I get more performance performing an upgrade to NGX > R65 there ? To be honest. I think you run Check Point on the wrong CPU. You can get much better bang for the buck on Intel/AMD CPU's and much higher performance. So if you plan to upgrade I would strongly recommend to move to much powerful hardware.
