If you have more than 4GB of memory, the OS will be able to address all
of the memory without having to resort to the hugemem kernel.
Each VM will only still be able to access a max of 4GB of RAM, but
you'll be able to run a ton of them if you have enough memory.
As far as officially supported, VMWare will support VMWare Server
running on a 64 bit OS as long as you have a support contract with them.
We run VMWare Server 1.0.3 and 1.0.4 on CentOS 4.5 and have no problems.
I personally dislike RHEL 5 so am holding off on dealing with that. I
have had it working on both versions though.

Hi,
Are there any practical advantages of running VMware Server 1.0.x on
AMD64/EM64T Linux host with a 64bit OS over a 32bit OS? Is it
officially supported?
The server is question is a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with two Xeon 5100
series dual-core CPUs.
Are there any known issues running VMware Server on a x86_64
distribution like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 or better 5?
Thanks.
