This cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode.

Just recently I did a fresh install of windows 8.1 Pro and reinstall all of my apps including Virtualbox but now when im trying to reinstall Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on Virtualbox I get this message
(Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this cpu is not compatible with 64-bit mode.)
So I took a look at the Manual and found this!
my processor doesn’t support Hardware Virtualization VT-d which it means that I cannot install 64bit OS in my Virtualbox Correct?? Correct me if I'm wrong!!

I BELIVE IN THE PAST I HAVE INSTALLED 64bit VM'S3.1.2. 64-bit guests
VirtualBox supports 64-bit guest operating systems, even on 32-bit host operating systems,[11] provided that the following conditions are met:
1. You need a 64-bit processor with hardware virtualization support (see Section 10.3, “Hardware vs. software virtualization”).
2. You must enable hardware virtualization for the particular VM for which you want 64-bit support; software virtualization is not supported for 64-bit VMs.
3. If you want to use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host operating system, you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM. Since supporting 64 bits on 32-bit hosts incurs additional overhead, VirtualBox only enables this support upon explicit request.
On 64-bit hosts (which typically come with hardware virtualization support), 64-bit guest operating systems are always supported regardless of settings, so you can simply install a 64-bit operating system in the guest.
Warning
On any host, you should enable the I/O APIC for virtual machines that you intend to use in 64-bit mode. This is especially true for 64-bit Windows VMs. See Section 3.3.2, “"Advanced" tab”. In addition, for 64-bit Windows guests, you should make sure that the VM uses the Intel networking device, since there is no 64-bit driver support for the AMD PCNet card; see Section 6.1, “Virtual networking hardware”.
