I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.10 x64 on VirtualBox on my Windows 8 (not 8.1) host. However, only x32 options are in the dropdown. How do I install x64 Ubuntu on this?

1) 64-bit guests need hardware-virtualzation enabled in the hosts bios.
2) when creating the 64-bit guest you must select 64-bit in General -> Basic -> version.
3) If running Windows as host you must make sure hyper-v or xp mode is not enabled on the host. MS does not play well and wants it all.
