I tired this a coupple of months ago.... I think this mostly comes down to the processor that u r going to run the virtual machine on....

for being able to run x64 virtual machines ontop of a win32 or win64 host, I had to have x86/x64 capable processor + virtualization support instructions in the processor: a.ka Intel VT or AMD Pacifica..... otherwise, the host could install x64 operating systems, but it could not virtualize other x64 machines.... worked out for both VM-Ware server and MS Virtual server...

VMware workstation 6 beta supports x64 host AND guest OSs as well as USB drives which is what I need. Unfortunately there is nothing else I know of that supports this. I say unfortunately because I don't like the way WMware installs all these virtual devices and memory resident stuff. Most other VM software doesn't need to do this.

@all,

If you run Vmware workstation on a 64bits operating system it will support 64bits virtual machines. There is no other way at the moment.
