Once again there's stuff I understand and more stuff I really don't
understand.  I think the answer is: "This is not a 64-bit CPU, but I'm
not 100% sure.

Interesting /proc/cpuinfo is slightly different on the hostOS for
VMware ESX Server, an
odd proprietary cousin of Red Hat, and a CentOS5 x86 VM.

here's the info from the host OS cpu

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 4

Hmm.  There's two processors in there with sockets for more.  But I
only see info for one
CPU.

and heres the info from the Guest
