If I create a Windows 7 64-bit Virtual Machine on my Windows 7 64-bit system, can it be run on a Windows XP system?

Hello, is your XP installation x64? Is your motherboard/cpu capable of running x64?

What about Jim's comment:"Is your WinXP system CPU and motherboard compatable with a 64 bit OS? Does it have a minimum of 2GB RAM?"...is this a factor ?
