VirtualBox 2.1 Supports 64-Bit VM In 32-Bit Host

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the big-box-inside-a-little-box dept.

Stephen Birch writes "Following closely behind the mid-November 2.06 release of VirtualBox, Sun Microsystems has released version 2.1. This has a number of new features, but one of the most interesting is the ability to run a 64-bit VM inside a 32-bit host. Another useful feature is integrated host-based networking; no more fiddling around with network bridges. Sun is really giving VMWare a run for their money."
