I would like to install Server 2008 R2 on my XP machine here at work so I can just learn the basics. My CPU is an E2200 with 2GB system RAM. As I understand it, I can run a 64bit OS inside XP 32bit as long as the CPU is 64bit capable and has VT support? I was thinking of using Oracle VirtualBox. Any issues with doing this? I realize the performance won't be great, but I literally just want to have a poke around and see where stuff is. Thanks.

I don't think the E2200 supports that but give this a try: https://my.vmware.com/web/vmware/details/processor_check_5_5_dt/dCpiQGhkYmRAZQ==
