32-bit VMWare on a 64-bit system for a 64-bit VM instance

I recently bought a 64-bit machine running on Windows 7 64-bit. I already have a 32-bit version software of VMware Workstation 7. I would like to install and run Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit as a VM Instance on my 64-bit Win-7 machine for learning. Will i still be able to use the 32-bit VMWare software to do this or do i have to buy the 64-bit version of VMware Workstation 8?

I ask this because the software is pretty expensive for me.

Please advise.

You dont use 32 bit VMWare for 64Bit guest. You have to buy VMWare 64Bit or you can use VirtualBox from Oracle for free.
