you must be able to run x64 guests on your hardware in order to run ESX in VMware Workstation. Therefore you must enable VT in your BIOS.

Processor Check for 64-Bit Compatibility is a good tool to find out if your are capable of running x64 guests.

....also, here are few good documents to look at

Running vSphere within Workstation will take up a lot of memory
