I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O
motherboard.  This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and
a 3ware 9550SX raid card.

Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard?  Are there any
issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause
problems?

CentOS4 has no issues with SMP/dual core.

I appreciate any input.  I'm just looking to find out about any
possible problems before I spend the money for the MB, CPU, and
amazingly expensive RAM.

Is there any reason you're locked into Xeon/FB-DIMM? SuperMicro makes many rather nice Opteron boards, with good ol' DDR SDRAM. And there aren't many areas where Xeon outperforms Opteron these days, if any.
