As far as I can remember Windows won't run on Xen if the CPU doesn't support virtualisation (so that rules out Celeron Dual Core and Pentium Dual Core). I've got VMWare Server running on my Ubuntu box (Phenom X4 9600, 4GB Ram) and it runs Windows 2003 Server and SQL Server fine, although saying that, they're small test boxes. I believe I don't have virtualisation turned on in VMWare by default but it runs okay.
