Workstation 6 - unable to install 64bit guest OS

I have a laptop with Windows Vista x64. 4 gig RAM - duo core cpu. I installed the eval copy of the Worksation 6 on my laptop to see if I can use VMWare to run my Exchange Lab. When I went to install win2003 x64 server as a guest OS on VMWare it said my cpu was not able to handle a 64bit OS. Anyway I can run a x64 OS on the workstation software with my laptop. All help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

If your laptop CPU does not have VT feature you would not be able to run 64-bit guests:
