  • @zharvey No, you do not have an AMD processor. You are, however, on an x86_64 architecture. Apple and AMD were the first to come out with a 64bit system for personal computers. So, in the non mac world, amd64 was adopted for all 64bit architectures. x86_64 was later adopted to describe intel 64bit CPUs as well. The two names are essentially synonymous today.

  • I don't get the third point "If you want to use 64-bit guest support on a 32-bit host operating system, you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM". you must also select a 64-bit operating system for the particular VM what do you mean by that ?

  • @SuhailGupta that just means that you should install a 64bit operating system on your virtual machine.
