When you install Workstation, the installer performs checks to make sure the host system has a processor that meets the following requirements. You cannot install Workstation if the host system does not meet these requirements.

64-bit x86 CPU
LAHF/SAHF support in long mode
You can use CPU-Z or a similar utility to determine if the host system CPU is 64-bit capable. CPU-Z shows EM64T (Intel) or AMD64 (AMD) if the processor is 64-bit capable.

While the less layers between guest OS and the hardware is nice, this also opens up other problems for malware researchers.

I have to think sysadmins with xeon's and atom's aren't going to be too happy with the requirements... (VT-x requirements)
