![]() So, yes, you need a 64-bit CPU even on a 32-bit host (the claim that a 64-bit processor behaves the same as a 32-bit one on a 32-bit OS is, unfortunately, misleading it's not necessarily about being a 64-bit CPU, but it's about features that no 32-bit only CPU offers since none of them were ever released with those features.) The host system must have a 64-bit x86 CPU that meets the following requirements. ![]() You must install Workstation on a host system that meets certain processor requirements. Visit the Workstation 10.0 Documentation Center as linked smack on the front page of the Workstation 10 download and release notes, click "Getting Started with VMware Workstation", click "Introduction and System Requirements", click "Host System Requirements", click "Processor Requirements for Host Systems". (If the answer was wholly obvious I wouldn't be asking here :) ) Get what I mean? this is where my confusion is happening! Running a 32-bit host on a 64-bit processor may in fact be treated differently by VMWare because it would still be accessing the 64 bit processor's instructions, which if I am understanding correctly this WOULD be different than running a 32-bit OS as HOST on a 32-bit processor and attempting to run VMWare. ![]() Let me clarify: You can run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit processor, or you can run a 64-bit host on a 64-bit processor. See it says that the PC Requirements ARE x86-64, even though it lists 32 bit operating systems as hosts. Host operating systems* (32-bit & 64-bit): Windows 8 Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows XP SP3 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2008 Windows Server 2003 Standard Windows XP Home Edition with SP2 Ubuntu 8.04 and above Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above CentOS 5.0 and above Oracle Linux 5.0 and above openSUSE 10.2 and above SUSE Linux 10 and above Please refer to vendors recommended disk space for specific guest operating systems. ![]() Additional hard disk space required for each virtual machine. PC requirements: System requirements: 64-bit x86 Intel Core™ Solo Processor or equivalent, AMD Athlon™ 64 FX Dual Core Processor or equivalent 1.3GHz or faster core speed 2GB RAM minimum/ 4GB RAM recommended Workstation installation: 1.2 GB of available disk space for the application. Okay Okay, here is where I am confused, let me share: ![]()
