Google is your friend!

Depends what you want to run in the client. I've usually used the 32-bit
desktop .iso.

You need to install the VMware tools in the client system once you have
it up and running. This can be set to synchronise the client clock with
the host. It also helps with mouse movements and graphics drivers.
