Yup.... new feature announced with one of the semi-recent versions. Crazy
stuff, and I imagine it's a performance hit, but still neat.

Looking around a bit I was a bit off in my first response. You can run a
64-bit guest on a 32-bit host OS with VirtualBox but it looks like you
still need 64-bit hardware with hardware virtualization support, so that
rules out h30consulting's issue as well; my apologies for that. So
basically you need a box that is capable of full 64-bit virtualization but
you need to have opted (for some reason) to run a 32-bit host on that
machine and then VirtualBox can get you a 64-bit guest, but why you would
do that without having a 64-bit host is completely beyond me.

Good luck.
