Re: [zfs-discuss] Can VirtualBox run a 64 bit guests on 32 bit host

Correct, VirtualBox 2.1 and above will allow a 64 bit VM on top of a 32 bit host OS, but it requires a CPU with AMD-V or VT-x support. Without the CPU virtualization extensions Virtualbox will only allow a 32 bit VM on a 32 bit host OS. For the Athlon64 chip AMD-V will only be present for soc

Hi Harry, I doubt it too. Try here to be sure (no need to install, unzip in a folder and just run). CPUID Check the processor features when you run the app. I hope that helps. /Mark :-) 2009/2/26 Tim > Then you would be looking for AMD-V extensions. VT is only for

Re: [zfs-discuss] Can VirtualBox run a 64 bit guests on 32 bit host

Then you would be looking for AMD-V extensions. VT is only for Intel chips. I highly doubt a 3200+ has the AMD-V extensions. --Tim On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 7:14 PM, Harry Putnam wrote: > I've seen some talk on vmware forums indicating it is possible to run > 64 bit guests on a 32 bit host as

[zfs-discuss] Can VirtualBox run a 64 bit guests on 32 bit host

I've seen some talk on vmware forums indicating it is possible to run 64 bit guests on a 32 bit host as long as something called VT technology is available. I have an athlon64 +3200 running 32 bit WinXP pro. I wondered if I would be able to run opensol in 64 bit as guest inside VirtualBox? I sus
