Many hacks are possible.. For example, VMWare somehow manages to combine
64 bit guest OS with 32 bit host. I.e. you run 32 bit VMWare under 32
bit OS, and provided that you have 64 bit CPU (recent revision is
required, though) you can run 64 bit OS inside of it..

Charming, isn't it? I never thought it was possible till I saw it
myself.
