[Fedora-xen] Motherboard/Processors/Memory For Dual Processor Xen System

I want to build a new computer system that features dual processors, a 
lot of memory, and is able to run Xen virtualization. Install Fedora and 
Xen as the host on such a machine, and then start running a variety of 
other operating systems as virtual machines.

What dual processor hardware configurations work well with Xen? For 
example will any Supermicro brand dual processor motherboard be hardware 
compatible with Xen? I am thinking of Supermicro boards with Xeon 
processors. Or is there a better brand of motherboard?

Thanks
