I have heard all of these things before but I want to know why or why
not. I want more meat. I want to know to technical details like is it a
RISC vs CISC, etc. Because I really don't think it is quite that simple.

If you need big iron boxes (>8 and upto 64 CPUs) currently, SPARC is
your choice. AMD/Intel aren't there yet but soon they might well be
there with multicore stuff. And if you are in the market for funky
things such as hot swappable CPUs, dynamic reconfiguration
auto-diagnosis and recovery etc. SPARC is the way to go.
For all other stuff, there is Opteron (x64) - yes the x86 is dead. A
comparable Opteron system should be much faster than SPARC one. If you
care extremely about speed - Linux might be a better choice. If
extreme stability / reliability and/or religious belief is the
concern, go with Solaris. (Ok, to reduce the chances of flames I had
to say this last sentence ;)
