According to http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/releasenotes_ws55.html#bb_64 --8<--- If your host machine has a 32-bit processor or a 64-bit processor that is not supported, Workstation does not support 64-bit guest operating systems. If your host machine has a supported 64-bit processor, you can run supported 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems in either the host or a guest, in any combination. -->8--- so it is possible to run 64-bit guest on 32-bit host OS, as long as the CPU is supported.
