I tried to test a 64bit image today (I am running 64bit Karmic) and got caught out with this problem.
I go the message about kvm not being supported and installed virtualbox. The 64bit Desktop image was no.1 in the list of options and since I am running it I thought it would be fine. But when virtualbox boots the image I get a warning about VT-x/AMD-V being enabled but not operational and then a message saying it's only detected a i686 cpu and is unable to boot.

I have attached the output from /proc/cpuinfo
