ESX 4 COS - 64bit only?

[atbnet]

The new COS in ESX 4 is 64bit, however is this 64bit only and will only run on 64bit hardware? Or will ESX4 also run on a server that has 32bit processors?

Its not a problem for the ESX servers at work when I see the HCL im sure they will be supported as theyre very new Dell PE2950s, im just thinking about my test lab at home which is an older HP DL380.

FSC Rx600S3 with Intel 7100 is not in the HCL, too. Although it supports x64...?

VinkenB - it is up to HP to certify their servers with VMware.

They, and others, have been working the process for some time now. I would expect them to have start with their current servers and then to work backwards through their servers to a reasonable point. Unfortunately what you consider reasonable and they consider reasonable might differ. I would advise raising the question with HP.

fmdj - same story for fujitsu.
