Actually, my understanding is that Windows runs better on Sun's add-in boards than it does on stand-alone PCs, because when Windows locks up or blue screens you don't have to reboot the system, just Windows. Thus, network connections, etc. don't get lost.

But that's just what I've heard. I probably wouldn't sacrifice the slot.
