I've spent some time recently upgrading my old workhorse a Sun Ultra 2, the last real Sun machine made in my opinion ;) It might not be as fast as the new fancy servers but i really don't know what i would do with all the CPU-cycles for things like SSH, Apache and mail. And after all these years we have grown emotionally attached. Now things should keep running smooth well into the next decade. Getting ZFS, DTrace and Zones on my outside server is also nice.
Before:
2x USI @ 200MHz
512MB of primary memory
Solaris 9
After
2x USII @ 400MHz
1.5GB of primary memory
Solaris 10U4
