I assume you mean you got some error when you use the -usbdevice option in qemu? 
  Without knowing more I can't help a lot, and I'm not sure you want to do the 
VM that way anyway.

Things you can try:
- tell us what happens when you use the -usbdevice with qemu, it has worked for 
me in the past.
- try VirtualBox (suggested to me, don't use it)
- try VMware (I have used that)
- spend a few hundred bucks and get a better CPU
   (not knocking you CPU, but this is the easy way out)
- install the latest CentOS-5 release which has xen

Just some thoughts, I like new CPU, CentOS/xen and VMware, in that order. Not my 
dime, tho, so free advice is worth what you paid.
