That's wrong, ME is as 32 bit as Win98 is (that is to say, mostly)

This would be quite possible, VMWare is free for this kind of thing and is 
probably the easiest way to jump in. With some new virtualisation stuff 
getting into the kernel, there probably will be open source equivalents 
becoming more popular, too. Or you could play with qemu and the kernel 
module, I haven't used it much so can't really comment on it.
