VirtualBox is an opensource (i.e. FREE) virtualizer from Sun Microsystems (at the time of the original post). You still need to have hardware that supports Virtualization to run VirtualBox with a 64 bit guest.
A 32 bit guest o/s (such as Windows XP - Not the rare 64 bit version) can be run from pretty much any computer using VirtualBox.
I have configured many computers using VirtualBox and have used the resultant Virtual Environments to run 32 bit applications such as DVD43. You can also use a Virtualizer to offer some measure of security but nature of the fact that you are running processes in an immutable environment. (for more information on Immutable VMs please search this blog).
