Late trend is investing in x64 platforms.
An x64 platform is a low cost server based on Intel or AMD CPU rather than proprietary CPU.
Windows based desktops and laptops that you buy from retail stores are also x64 machines.
Recently x64 machines have become very powerful and now are rivaling proprietary systems in terms of high availability and visualization options.
HP and Dell are big players in this market. Sun also offers bit of a choice.
One time low up front cost should be a decision making criteria. Total cost through the life time of the system should be considered while making a decision.
