Hello !

Are you sure that your MacOS is 64bits ? If not, even if the processor supports it, the virtual machine won't ...

I have this same hardware and I can tell is not 64bit, but only 32bit... I'm running X86 Ubuntu because wouldn't boot the AMD64...
But I couldn't tell if the virtualization software could pretend to have the other 32bit :). (I know VirtualBox recently released a version with support to 64bit...)

Can you help with this problem?
