I need some serious advice!
I have a rather odd situation that I need advice about. I have a Intel based machine that is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. On that machine, I am running VMware Workstation 7. I have created a virtual machine in VMware that is a 64 bit version of Scientific Linux 6 (Basically RedHat 6). On the virtual machine, I have installed Virtualbox 4.0.6 . I am attempting to create a virtual machine with Virtualbox that is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit ON the virtual machine that is Scientific Linux 6. The files begin to load fine when I power it up and point to the media, but then it abruptly stops and says that I do not have a compatible 64 bit processor. The reason that I am doing all of this nesting is that I want to try Virtualbox with the intent of getting rid of VMware. Is there a way to specify that the processor assigned is 64 bit? Is the "nesting" an impossible situation to configure? The processor of the bare metal hardware is I7 950. Any/all help is GREATLY appreciated!

VBOX in VBOX/VMWARE is not supported and does not work.
