The Sun Ultra 24 is an excellent workstation from Sun.
Review the option with the Intel QX6850 processor. Sun
hasn't updated the Ultra24 workstation with the
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 processor selection yet.
Sun Studio 12 may need some specific flags and tweaks
(i.e. -fast -sse4a) to get the best performance.
I've had some recent discussion with one of Sun's
engineers on the Intel X38/ICH9R support in Nevada.
Sun is working AMD and Intel on their latest
processors - but keep your eyes out on the latest in
chipset support as well.

If you are acquiring a new box instead of upgrading,
consider systems
with intel chips, Core 2 Quad these days owns Phenom
(K10 based)
Sun Ultra24 is quite a good choice.
