My plan is to run GNS3 workbench,ps3mediacenter,NAS and probably a windows
machine or 2. I just was not sure if 64bit guest would work ok or not.
Thanks for the input.

You can do either or both.  As long as the host is a 64 bit host, you 
should be able to install both 32 and 64 bit guest operating systems. 
It depends a little bit on what you are using to do the virtualization 
though.
