Personally I wouldn't put UNIX on a Intel box any more. Few reasons, but if you don't know what your doing Solaris on a Intel box isn't easy. Also Sun don't support Solaris on Intel no more etc etc.

Yeah it can be done though.

Run Linux it's better for a Intel chipset to run. Easier as well.

Yes you can dual boot with Windows and Unix/Linux. If you think your good enough or just want to try you can have Windows and Unix and Linux all booting from the same computer. Triple boot is easier when 3 drives are in there, dual is easy with 1 drive 2 partitions.

Try Linux on Intel instead of UNIX though.
