The Sun Fire X4150 in my lab is equipped with two Intel E5440 quad-core Xeon CPUs running at 2.83 GHz per core, and with 6MB of Level 2 cache per pair of cores. In fact, the fit and finish of the X4150 are generally better than the rest of the field and far ahead in local storage. All in all, it's a very real competitor to HP's ProLiant D元60 G5, IBM's x3550 and Dell's PowerEdge 1950 III.
Overall, I've found it a quiet, capable server that tends toward the lower end of the power consumption spectrum. I've had a Sun Fire X4150 in my lab for a few months now - running everything from Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 to CentOS 5.1 and VMware ESX 3.5. The Intel-based Sun Fire X4150, AMD-based X4140 and SPARC-based T5120 and T5140 servers all look identical to the casual observer, but each offers a different take on the purpose of the ubiquitous 1U server. Sun has developed a 1U chassis design that can handle an impressive number of drives, yet also provide for a standard two-socket Intel-based mainboard and the company's signature four gigabit Ethernet interfaces, not to mention a relatively advanced lights-out management co-processor.
