My stuff is Linux based and the Linux SMP is only available for 64bit OS. Take a look at what it reports on the webpage/screen for CPU type and see if it detects the 64bit or just 32bit. To run SMP, my stuff needs to detect 64bit and detect more than 1 CPU core, otherwise it will run multiple single clients.

VMWare supports 64bit guests with 32 bit hosts! I'm running Windows XP 32bit and have an Ubuntu 64bit installation virtualized under vmware. If this wasn't possible I'm sure that we wouldn't have a lot of SMP folders under Linux as most people still run 32bit
Intel's virtualization technology, which also will ship in processors for single- and dual-socket servers mid year, seeks to shift some of the heavy-lifting necessary to run multiple operating systems on one server from software to the processor. Intel said servers using its hardware-assisted virtualization technology perform virtualization more efficiently as well as enable 64-bit guest operating support in VMWare.
