The C2Ds are 64 bit with 48bit addressable memory.  You should be fine 
with 8GB RAM.

If you are planning to use CentOS 5.3 beware.  A couple of days ago the 
installer put in a 64bit Xen enabled kernel as the default and it would 
see only 3.5G on a 4G RAM system.  I upgraded to a CentOS Plus kernel 
and all 4G are being detected (System Dual Xeon w/ 4 hyper threads in 
each CPU).
