Are there any 32 bit cpus around which support virtualization?!

Virtualbox is running fine on my laptop which is a Pentium M (32 bits
according intel documentation)...

I have problem (low speed) with KVM but Virtualbox is running fine :)

Laurent.

Sure, but you can't run 64 bit systems, which is what Jérémy was
referring to.

Hello,

You can run 64bit system on virtualbox on a 32bit cpu. I'am doing it to 
compile stuff for amd64. For this to work you have to have vt extensions 
on your cpu and virtualbox 2.2.0.

see:

model name  : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300  @ 2.40GHz

just activate those options on virtualbox

VTx/AMD-V activated

Cheers

VirtualBox says : your processor must support VT-X or AMD-V.
egrep '(vmx|svm)' /proc/cpuinfo

This is a 64-bit capable processor. You could run a 64-bit system
directly if you wanted to.

Since qemu is an emulator, it should be able to run 64-bit guests in a
32-bit system, even with vt support in the processor. But it probably
would be somewhat slow.

You could try requesting access to the GCC compile farm. I think most of
the machines run Debian. That was really helpful for me to test
compiling my package (lives) on arm. See
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/CompileFarm.

VirtualBox supports 64 bits guests on 32 bits hosts,
provided you have a cpu that supports virtualization.

It is always possible to ask the bug submitter to try it out. Another option 
is to create a virtual machine with qemu or VirtualBox.
