Well, if you're not sure of what your definition is of "a true Unix OS" then a challenge or question as to if a PC will run them kind of loses its meaning. I venture to say that most folks would classify Solaris as a "true Unix OS" and yes, they mostly ran on Sparc CPU server systems in rooms with false floors and big A/C's. And yes, in the early days, the workstation varieties used Sparc CPU's and not your typical Intel or AMD processor. But, today Solaris runs just fine on Intel. So, I would submit that as an answer to your question.
