[HugeCooljp]

I am trying to install x64 OS's on vmware ws 8, and i keep getting message saying non x64 CPU detected! no i promise im not mucking around here, i have core i7 2600k with 16GB RAM. How is it not detecting the CPU as 64bit! any help would be appreciated

Try rebooting and go into your bios, look for chipset settings. There should be a virtualization setting which you should be enable.
