I'm running VMWare server 1.0.4 on a quad core Xeon PE 2950, with
Centos 5.1 x86_64 kernel.

I use Centos 5.1 x86_64, Suse 10.x (32bit), Centos 5.0 (32bit) as
guest OS.

AFAIK, you need a 64 bit hosts os if you want to run a 64 bit guest os
in a VM.
Other than that I don't notice any difference with our other servers
that don't use a 64bit host os.
