I'm not sure if you know or not, but the key for x64 and 32 bit are the same. You can download the iso image from MS and reinstall(or upgrade) with the same product key and have x64.

yeah i know, i have a bunch of programs that are strictly 32 bit. so if i upgraded there is a chance that they wont work.

but when i do my annual HDD wipe im just gonna reinstall everything from scratch but 64 bit this time

Most 32 bit programs work on 64 bit... Just saying... If not then there is probably a 64bit version that would run better anyways.
