Virtual Server 2005 R2 Can´t Add x64 operating system

I'm Attempting to load an x64 operating system, then appears this message:

This CPU is not compatible with x64 mode. Please install a 32-bit X86
operating system.

The CPU is AMD

Virtual PC doesn't support, and wont run, 64-bit guests.

Virtual Server also doesn't support, or run, 64-bit guests.

The only Microsoft product that supports 64-bit guests is Hyper-V.

VMWare has some 64-bit guest support, as well as a couple of other
products...

Help you do what? Virtual Server does not support 64-bit guests. You need
to install a 32-bit OS in the guest, or use some other virtualization
software if you must use a 64-bit OS in the guest.

Are there plans to do so in the future? If so, when? I have Vista Ultimate
64 bit and I assumed I could try it out on VirtualPC. Everyone is moving, or
has moved already, to Vista 64 bit (judging from the forums I post in) so I
find it a bit strange that VirtualPC won't support it. I have never
installed Vista Ultimate 64bit. The disk is just sitting here. I'd like to
try it and and trying Vista was a main reason for Microsoft making VirtualPC
free. I am trying Vista Ultimate 32 on virtual PC but I would not use it on
a new machine.

Nothing has been announced one way or the other.

Not everyone is moving, Vista32 still outnumbers 64 bit by quite a
bit. I don't personally run 64-bit on any of the user PC's I control,
it's just not an advantage yet.

But 64-bit use is getting more and more widespread...

Melelina:

Another way to test out an OS is multi-booting. Less convenient than doing it in
a virtual machine, but the new OS will run natively on the machine.

If you want to this route I would recommend the excellent BootIt NG.

There are probably plans for a client version of Hyper-V so eventually
there will be an MS solution.
Both VMW Workstation and VirtualBox can both handle 64bit VMs.

However, you're really not going to gain anything by running a 64bit
version of Vista in a VM. Why? You're not taking advantage of the
extra memory if you're running a 32bit host OS. Driver issues for x64
Vista, not relevant in a VM, since you aren't installing the drivers
for the actual physical hardware anyway.

The only thing you'd really be able to gain from this is to determine
if older and/or custom programs will run in a 64bit environment.
