Trying to install Fedora Core 2 on Virtual PC (using Dell Dimension 4600 with
2.8 GHz with HT, 1 GB or RAM.) it crashes right after typing 'linux text'.

Here is what's left on the screen:

Which processor model is it emulating?

I don't think it emulates a processor per say (this is the PC version). Most
of the hardware is emulated but the processor is just bridged. So within a
guest operating system you would detect your actual processor not an emulated
processor (unless you have two processors or HT, in which case you see only
one).
