First of all you should search the forums for 32 to 64 bit migration/move
you will find lots of message where people have done this sucssfully.
or simple google search

main thing to understand is the LDAP migration..you should read some messages in the search to see what problems they faced and the solutions suggesed

the 95% of the migration is explained in the link below

rest please read the other messages to tweak the process for 32 > 64 bit
