Thankfully no, 32bit and 64bit are at the same price, but the
HW support limits are quite different.
For 32bit: max 4GB RAM, max 8 Cores (e.g. 4+HT), max one RAID with max 32
devices, max 16 direct sata devices.
And, there are hints that it will become worse for "skylake" or newer HW
after summer 2016.
Yes, M$ tries to force the move to 64 bit, with mixed results.
Look at Windows server hw support specs to get the hint where the
train will go for the 'pro' version (64bit for everything but IOT).
But back on topic:
Trying to run a 64bit VM-Hypervior (needed for 64bit VM-clients),
on a 32bit Host-OS seems ... -- well, lets say "unwise".
