CPU are correctly handled by the x86_64 version of SL.
Dell proposes these CPU:

and bigger
or AMD Turion^TM 64 Mobile technology MK-36 Processor
It is not the CPU that may be a issue but the motherboard chipsets.
Some Nvidia chipsets may have issues.
What chipset is used in your current choices?

Otherwise would you know any detail which would comfort me in choosin=
