I actually did something that was NOT suggested, I upgraded a few machines from Fedora 7 (32) to CentOS 5.4 (64).
This is actually a downgrade, as a lot of packages and the kernel have LOWER version numbers. I did not want to go through the hassle to get all the users/config/packages/whatever across into a complete new install. RPM is clever enough to keep the higher version numbers as 32 bits, but as the new packages arrive they get exchanged with the newer 64 stuff. All of those are rock solid.
