Would a 2 Quad 2.4 computer (Dell or HP) be faster than my current computer for video editing?

Yes a dual quad 2.4 would blow away your old Xeon system. I used that processor in a dual configuration on my workstation at my old job and let me tell you my little dual core 1.6GHz Mac mini is almost as fast as it. The new intel Quads blow the doors off of my little DC mini. Not sure if I would go with Dell or HP but either will be super fast compared to what your using now.
