[vyaw2003@gmail.com]

Hello,
I am planning to go to 64 bit.
I want to run the following apps
any dvd
nero
vmware gsx

what should my host be?
If i use a 32 host, can i run a 64 bit virtual machine?
should i use a 64 bit host?
what is best?
ESX, vista, windows 2003, or xp

Impossible to answer "what is best". Different reasons for different OSs.

Nero (6.6 or later) runs fine in 64bit windows. Don't know Any DVD. VMWare
runs fine.

Do you need a 64 bit Host for a 64 bit guest with VMWare? In theory, no. But
I personally wouldn't try it.

What host OS? your choice entirely.

So is that x64 or Vista?

AnyDVD runs fine on x64 systems.
Footnote on

says so.
