You need a 64-bit processor, and hence OS, to run 64-bit Quartus. If you only have a 32-bit machine, and no way to get a 64-bit machine, I *think* VirtualBox just added a feature where you can run a 64-bit virtual machine from a 32-bit host ... Google just confirmed this ... but the VirtualBox site is down for maintenance, so try later.

Install Windows 7 or a 64-bit version of Centos (Linux) (since its free), and then install Quartus into the 64-bit VM. That should work fine (but might be a little slow).

Cheers,

Dave
