Your CPU is 64-bit from what I can see. From a bit of Googling, others have
encountered this problem, and it seems to have to do with VM-X. I have no idea
what that is, but a thread in which someone has a very similar issue is here:

  http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=19420

One notable quote is:

  ...[the CPU] does not have Intel VT (hardware virtualization), so you will
  not be able to run 64 bit guests in Virtualbox even though you run a 64 bit
  host.
