There is a very simple way: just install the linux-image-*-amd64 and
boot into that kernel. This will run a 64bit kernel with your 32bit
system. It won't be 'fully' 64, but for me it's 64bit enough on my laptop.
I don't really know how much real life improvement a fresh install of
amd64 would yield, but I guess for most desktop systems it is not really
to worry about...
(Please correct me, if that's wrong or share any expererience on that)
YMMV, cheers,
Johannes
