Trick to install x64 Win Server 2003 on a VM on x86 using VirtualPC? 2

[cossma]

I have a PC running Windows XP 32-bit on an x86 CPU. I'm trying to install a Windows Server 2003 VM using Virtual PC 2007. However, I run into an error during installation that says that the x64 system won't install on a x86 CPU. I was wondering if there was a trick to get around this. Thanks.

No. Not under any version of Virtual PC. VMWare Workstation can do it.

And the CPU needs to have x64 capabilities, and if it has them, that should not be blocked by the BIOS... (some big-brand PC's have that :-()
