VPC on Vista x64 - trying to install XP x64

I have Virtual PC (64-bit) (version 6.0.156.0) installed on my Vista Ultimate
64-bit computer. I'm attempting to install Windows XP Pro (64-bit).

When I start up the Virtual XP - get this message after the bios POST and it
loads the ISO I have:

Attempting to load an x64 operating system, however, this CPU is not
compatible with x64 mode. Please install a 32-bit x86 operating system.
Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.

Yes, I have a 64-bit operating system - unless my Windows System properties
is lying to me and all the other x64 software I have installed is just in my
imagination. Does anyone know what's happening here? maybe I missed a
setting in my Virtual PC console?

Thank you in advance for your responce.
