I do a lot of photo processing... things like generating 200 jpgs from
raw files at one go. My laptop has 4GB of RAM but is currently only
using 3GB because I am running a 32 bit kernel.
uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Fri Sep 25

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 ?
Thanks
