Martijn Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Please clarify!Do you mean, you want to dual-boot both?Then of course its possible (if your Sempron3000+ is a 64-bit piece).But then, I dont see how that post is relevant in a VMware thread. Do you mean to ask, whether you can run a 64-bit guest OS, in your 32-bit host OS?I meant running a 64-bit guest in a 32-bit host OS inside VMWare.@cluberti: cool, I'll check it out Edit: just ran that tool, I'm outta luck Edited December 13, 2005 by Martijn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king_crimson Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Does anyone have any idea if this processor should be fine for 64-bit guest OS?AMD Athlon64 3700+1 MB L2 cache, 2.2 GHz754-pin, C-G coreI don't believe it would, but I have one of those exact chips on the way from tigerdirect as I type this, I'll let you know becuase I am definately going to try that.I tried running windows 64-bit as a guest OS with VMware 5.5 on my current Athlon XP 2400+then i had a rude awakening when I found out that VMware will not emulate the 64-bit chipset to run it on a 32-bit CPU i felt pretty dumb.can you imagine how freakin slow that would be anyway? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
