well server and Pentium 4 (or D) is a contradiction in terms.

But the Xeon or Opteron with VT/Pacifica are not yet available.

If it's only running as server this should not be a problem, you only 
get problems with the access to the GUI of Windows.
>What do the experienced people think: Is Xen3 ready for production?
If it is running I had quite good experiences with it. Beside the very 
poor graphics-performance it is fast and stable, if you use RDP or 
Citrix to access Windows it is usable.
But it depends very much on the SW you want to use, so the best would be 
get a cheap iP-4 9xx-system that supports VT and test it before paying a 
lot for a server!
