We recently purchased another Poweredge 2900 to run VM Ware.  On this particular machine, we need to load Windows 2003 64bit.  Before loading VM Ware, we had installed/tested the Win2k3 64 bit OS.  Now, VM Ware is throwing an error that the server does not support a 64 bit OS.  In doing some research, it seems that this technology is controlled partially through BIOS.

 

Before I shut down a production server, can anyone tell me if they are running VM Ware 3.x and virtualizing a 64 bit OS on a PowerEdge 2900 using Xeon processors, and if yes, did you need to make any changes to the BIOS settings?  Thanks in advance.
