I'd second running 64-bit OS's (vs. PAE) in favor of taking advantage
of more memory... But I did notice a common 'gotcha' if trying to run
your "guest" as a 64-bit OS (regardless if your "host" is 32 or 64-
bit): you will have to check your (host) BIOS settings to make sure
your Virtualization / Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) settings are
enabled to allow the "guest" to run 64-bit. In my case, this was under
Dell:
