The arch of the operating system is different than the arch of the virtualized CPU (which is what I think you are referring to). What benefit do you expect to extract from having a virtualized 32bit CPU compared to a virtualized 64bit cpu? Do users that have physical machines in your environment note that you deployed a 32bit OS on a 64bit CPU? --David
