I tried it but couldn't keep it running. Ended up loading Windows 64-bit
(what a driver pain that is) and now my 64-bit guests are happy clams.
Just wish I could run more of them at once. I'm not liking that Exchange
2007 is such a hog.

No typo -- with Vmware 5.5+ plus and run 64bit guest OSs on 32bit host
OS. Pretty cool, eh?
