Is the XP VM in W7 32 bit or 64 bit?

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the XP Virtual Machine that comes
with certain version of W7 is 32 bit or 64 bit?

Many thanks,

Both of your questions could have been asked in the same post.

32 bit only.

Thank you! One of my customers has two nVidia chipset Vista
X64 HP machines and both of her critical apps do not play well
with X64. So I told her to upgrade to W7 for the virtual
machine. (Especially since HP machines with nVidia chips sets
are a nightmare to revert to XP.)

I posted two separate questions, as I have found that if I post
multiple questions, I usually only get the first question
answered. Just my experience

Keep in mind that said PC's have to support hardware virtualization to use
Win 7's XP mode.

Oh bummer! It is an AMD with an nVidia chipset, so
I doubt it.

Anyone write a utility to check for this?

Cool! Thank you! I can not wait to try it out on a
buggered up Dell BIOS!
