title: 32-bit VMWare on a 64-bit system for a 64-bit VM instance
body: <p>I recently bought a 64-bit machine running on Windows 7 64-bit. I already have a 32-bit version software of VMware Workstation 7. I would like to install and run Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit as a VM Instance on my 64-bit Win-7 machine for learning. Will i still be able to use the 32-bit VMWare software to do this or do i have to buy the 64-bit version of VMware Workstation 8?</p>
  
  <p>I ask this because the software is pretty expensive for me.</p>
  
  <p>Please advise.</p>
