Sure it would.

Virtual PC requires minimum a 400 MHz Pentium-compatible processor.
VMWare version 5 (previous version) requires a 400MHz processor from the 
following list:
# Intel: Celeron, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium 4, Pentium M (including 
computers with CentrinoT mobile technology), XeonT (including "Prestonia")
# AMDT: AthlonT, Athlon MP, Athlon XP, DuronT, OpteronT
