To run a 64bit-guest OS on VirtualBox, regardless of the host OS, your cpu needs to support hardware virtualization extensions, i.e. Intel VT-X or AMD-V.

I should have posted this with my original post. My processor is an Intel T3400 which has the virtualization extensions. I did check to make sure it was turned on in the BIOS but there was no BIOS setting. I hope it is on by default. I do also have VMware server 2 running (thanks to OSE forum!). (Perhaps a call to Lenovo support; I have an IdeaPad G530.) I may download the latest VB from virtualbox.org but really wanted to stick to the one from OSE repositories.

What am I missing here?
