I would suggest the same thing that Johnny did ....
1. Update the BIOS to the most current version.
2. Do "linux noapic noacpi nousb text" at the installer boot prompt

One other thing to check is the memory ... try MEMTEST86 and let it run
overnight.

Should not be an issue... I've loaded CentOS 4.0 on a Dell 2650 with
Dual Xenon running HT and had no issue.
