This begs the question: why would you want to do this in the first place? My quick answer is find a vmm that your like and stick with it. Stay faithful. Don't be promiscuous with your virtualization partners it's just not safe ;-). On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 12:06 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

VB offers 32-bit (i386) and 64-bit (x86_amd64) versions. So it's safe to assume that the 64-bit version will run in a "pure" 64-bit environment. On Mon, Apr 28, 2008 at 3:49 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi List, > > I have a laptop that is running a pure 64 bit system. There are no 32 b
