Incidentally, never did test it. What if I install a 32bit xp host on a 64-bit machine. Will the Workstation software still be able to utilize and properly identify the CPU, or does it require that the host OS is at least 64 bit in order to run 64-bit guests. Not that it matters much, but still curious.
Now that I played with the system, I'm more confident about investing into a white box machine for ESX.

No, the host is whatever OS you have your workstation running under. In the vsphere client, a host refers to this particular ESX(i) installation, as it is a host with respect to the VM's that will be hosted under it. They are twice-virtual in this case, if you will.

Thanks a lot for posting this. Assembling a whitebox is pretty expensive, but this gave me a chance to play with the system and get the feel for what I think I'll offer my clients as a solution platform.

@goldtipu ... Are you running the 64 bit version of Workstation?
Meowmiks 1 year ago
@goldtipu that's because your CPU does not support hardware virtualization.

I assume in this case Host is my Vmware Workstation correct ? which we normally use the term Guest / Host. I have Pentium(r) D Cpu 2.6 on my host .
is this the issue i have ? Why ESX on Vmware worksation is talking to my Host directly to get the CPU info ?

2:23 ...When i chose "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 64-bit"
I got Warning 64-bit guest operating system are not supported by this host and will not run . - I am using VMworksation same as you - selected same option
Once i tried to run the ESX 4 i then have an error "This Version of ESX required a CPU capable of 64-bit operation" then no further installation.
