This depends on your hardware.

If your system has a 64-bit CPU and the BIOS supports Intel-VT, you will be able to run 64-bit VM's on a 32-bit OS.

Yes, it is possible, but you CPU should be 64bit and it must have Intel-VT / AMD-V enabled in BIOS

Have you performed a cold boot after enabling VT?

You may have a buggy BIOS. Please read the document I referred you to previously. It contains an ISO image you can burn to a CD to determine whether or not your BIOS is working correctly. It also contains a workaround for some cases of a buggy BIOS.

If you have enabled paravirtualization for this guest, please disable it. Paravirtualization is applicable only to 32-bit Linux guests with VMI-enabled kernels. Enabling paravirtualization disables 64-bit support in the VM.
