As long as it's P6 or above, the processor used doesn't affect the 
functionality on offer.  Of course, processor choice does affect the 
performance.

Note that if you're running a laptop, you're more likely to find it fiddly to 
get all the hardware working - as you know, laptops tend to have weird bits 
of hardware in them.  People do run Xen on laptops locally, though so it 
shouldn't bother you too much.

HTH,
Mark
