Searching in this forum I've found that ESXi can run 32-bit VMs even if the host does not support VT.
These answers were given in 2008. Is this still true for the latest version of ESXi?
Thanks,

yes, VT-x will allow you to run 64bit guests, without it, you can still run 32bit guests.
Thanks
is this true also for the 5.0?
the intel xeon (Prestonia/Gallatin) series is not on the HCL for esxi 5.0.
I believe that ESXi 5.0 drops support for all NetBurst CPUs, whether or not they have VT-x.
That being said - they still work AFAIK
