i have tested the x64 guest support and it works

Changelog:

-Open 3rd-Party Virtual Machines without having to convert them (eg. VirtualPC, Virtual Server

-Convert 3rd-Party Virtual Machines to the VMware format

-Support for 64-bit guest operating systems – Workstation 5.5 greatly enhances the virtualization platform by supporting both 64-bit host and 64-bit guest operating systems. This feature provides you unmatched flexibility to run both 32-bit and 64-bit en

-Experimental support for 2-way Virtual SMP - Workstation 5.5 now brings to the desktop a feature that was previously only available on VMware ESX Server. You can now assign one or two CPUs to any virtual machine

Quick question about the 64-bit guest support... does the host have to be running a 64-bit OS? I.e. can you run a VM with Linux x86-64 from 32-bit WinXP (on a 64-bit CPU of course)?

no u dont have to be running a 64bit os

i know this isnt the right place to ask it, but do one of you both know the switch to not reboot? my vmware 5.5 reboots after install during unattended setup, in the past i used the same switches with vmware 5.0 and works always fine...
