If you mean missing from the list of OS types, then the 64bit versions will not be offered unless your host is 64bit compatible and supports either VT-x or AMD-v. What CPU does your host PC use?

According to here, the E5200 does not support VT-x, which means you can't run 64bit guests using VirtualBox.

Is there a particular reason you need 64bits in the VM?
