I want to install Windows 7 64-bit for my physical machine, and then install Windows 7 32-bit as a guess OS in a virtual machine, can this be done? If yes, what virtual machine software to use? My CPU is i5 760.

Uhhh, your question title and actual question do not match up, the title is basically "64-bit guest on 32-bit host " while your question itself is "64-bit host with 32-bit guest " while with Virtualbox both ways are possible (I have done both) your question is left ambiguous. – Mokubai Aug 6 '10 at 20:33
Sorry for the confusion! And good to know that both are possible :) – Edwin Aug 8 '10 at 9:58

Yes, this can be done. I have done it myself with Oracle's VirtualBox, using a 32-bit version of Windows XP as the host and a 64-bit version of Windows 7 as the guest. It works pretty well.
