Your host vm (or hypervisor) should be 64 bit so you can have
more than 4GB of usable ram in the box. Plus these chips have all that
hardware support for VMs to speed things up. Running 32bit VMs does make the
most sense.

Hi list,
My winter project this year is to rebuild my
home network. I'm upgrading to a WS2003 domain from Windows 2000 (or I may
venture into 2008 depending on when that comes out). I'm going to make use of
virtualization as much as possible and anticipate having five or six VMs. I'm
not a big fan of 64 bit OSes, so I want to run all 32 bit ones. When I build
the machine that will host all the virtual machines, I'll want to get as much
processing power as I can reasonably afford. It seems, however, that all the
hardcore processors these days are 64 bit. Will this matter? Will I just be
wasting money buying a 64 bit processor for all 32 bit OSes? Aside from the
"you should run 64 bit OSes" responses, any thoughts on this?
Thanks
