How about OpenSolaris? And I think Solaris 10 also runs on x86 hardware.

Most Solaris releases do/did support x86:
OpenSolaris, Solaris Express, Solaris 10, 9, 8, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5.1, 2.5, 2.4 and 2.1 (1993).

You can install Solaris 10 for x86. Download it from SUN website and burn it into a DVD

Let me suggest you first check the compatibility with "Sun Device Detection Tool 2.2"

You need a Free partition and then boot from CD and do a standard installation

If you want to Solaris and windows in the same machine, I would recommend you 3 partitions

1 nfs
1 FAT (data)
1 Solaris

So on this way you can share the information in both Os.

Cheers!
