Modern AMD processors (I think anything that goes in an AM2 socket or 
later) do virtualisation, as do most modern Intel processors (core duo 
onward).

Are you intending to run vanilla Xen on top of a random linux distro (I 
use debian, lenny has recent Xen packaged), or use a product like XenServer?
