Although Axel is right - you should send an email to the SL support people - I offer one little bit of advice.

Pentium D [1] is "amd64" (or x8664) chip. That means, that you need an "amd64" installation CD/DVD/image/... Note also, that many "amd64" machines uses EPIC (not a BIOS) for the initial setup, and you need to make sure your installation media understand that. Another option, if the machine has something like Windoze on it already, is to use a web-based service, like [2]
