Actually, VMWare now release their "Server" product for free. I've used it myself on linux to run an XP guest quite successfully. See http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ That said, I don't think virtualisation is the answer for you here, as no solution is going to allow you to run a 64 but guest on a 32 bit host, in a sane way...
