Wintel boxes haven't been stable under high load for extended periods of time. SUNs are. It's primarily a function of the OS and the drivers, but it remains the case.

Companies with IT people that know what they are doing get them stable.

But wintel has a long way to go to catch up to the RAS SUN has had for 10 years.

Sure, the best known RAS hardware feature of them all, ECC (on L2 cache) was not implemented by Sun until alpha particles brought a bunch of their USII servers to their knees 2 years ago. And then they tried to stonewall it and threatened their customers to boot. What a hoot. Oops, there are rhyme cops out there!
