Why only 32 bit on my 64 bit machine?

Post by klikmaker »

Hi,

I'm not sure why my 64 bit system will only allow 32 bit versions of Linux through VirtualBox. I must be doing something wrong.

This is my first post so I am not allowed yet to show you a screen shot. I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks,
Dale

Here's a screenshot of my Win7 specs. Hope this helps to find out why I only can install 32 bit OSes on my 64 bit machine.
