Virtualbox isn't 'instead of' CentOS'  it is 'instead of KVM' as a
virtualization layer.  Not sure how much difference there is in
capability, other than being available for many more platforms,
including 32-bit linux.  There should be some overlap in supported
image formats.  I've moved vmdk's created on vmware to both, but I'm
not sure what others they each handle.

If you have hardware support for virtualization, you should probably
be running 64-bit Centos with KVM and not much else at the host OS
level.  If you have applications that need 32-bit, they could run in a
guest.
