    Hi Everyone.

    I am planning on buying the new Studion 1557 with the i7 CPU.

    I would like to verify that with a Windows 7 Pro x64 as host, I can use VMware's VMware Workstation and Sun's VirtualBox for virtualization of both x64 and x86 guest operating systems.

    If any one on this forum tried this, or know the answer, I would appreciate it very much !!!

    Thanks,

    EyWeB

    Thank you very much for your response.

    Could you confirm that you are able to specifically run X64 guests on an X64 host?
