Sooner or later I want to upgrade to a 64 bit kernel and 8 GB of RAM.
Other than this article, I can't find any information on the subject.

I am looking to do the upgrade WITHOUT reinstalling Fedora. I've done
enough re installations in the past to know that I don't want to go
there.
Has anyone done crossgraded from 32 to 64 bit ? What advice do you have
to offer ?
Have you really done enough upgrades? I think not. If you did, you
would know that the best advice is to back up your files and perform a
clean install.
Thanks
