64 bit Guests
Posted: 4. Oct 2009, 18:39
Hi,
I am planning to upgarde my host OS to Windows 7 64bit in the hope that I can then run 64bit guest OS's for testing purposes. I currently run 32bit guest OS's on my 32 bit Vista installation. Unfortunately my CPU does not support VT extensions and the BIOS also appears to have no means with which to turn on hardware virtualization.
Does this now mean that I simply cannot run 64 bit guest OS's using Virtualbox when I upgrade to a 64bit host OS?
