SL 10.1 seems to be a very good choice, Xen is running out of the box!

If you use only SuSE-update-rpm for getting new Xen-versions you don't 
need compiler and development.

Does your AMD already support Pacifica? If not Windows will NOT run!

Anyway I would not use a shared, physical partition for using Windows 
native or in a VM. The real and VM-hardware is too different, may be you 
need "accelerators" in the VM for getting it run better and finaly the 
handling of just an image-file instead of a real Windows-partition is 
much easier!
