Get some old 64-bit hardware. ;) Used 64-bit-capable Sempron CPUs can be had for under $5 at a lot of computer expos, and getting mobos and RAM to go with isn't much more expensive at those places. If you don't need to run high-end games or other super-CPU-intensive crap, you can usually build a whole perfectly-usable PC for less than many people spend on just their video cards.

Only inconvenient may be not having the latest virtualization support.
In case people are not aware of how cheap you can buy: with AMD CPUs and chipsets, one can re-fit very nicely an existing case for less than $200 - an $80 motherboard (with capable ATI integrated video), a $60 CPU (dual 64 bit cores, 2.7+ GHz) and $50 of RAM (4GB DDR2/800MHz).
