support for 64bit O/S - can 3.5ESXi do it?

[Flyingcrawfish]

I installed the ESXi 3.5 on a SUN x4150.

When I try to install a 64 bit O/S - the client consiole tells me that it does not support long

Ensure your CPUs support either AMD-V or Intel-VT: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=1901

Though VT-x is required for 64-bit guest support on Intel processors, AMD-V is not required for 64-bit guest support on AMD processors. Any but the very first AMD64 chips are capable of running 64-bit guests. See KB 1901.
