Question on installation of FC3_86_64.

Due to an overheated processor I decided last week to replace the 32-bit processor with an Athlon 64 3200+ 
processor. I know I have to install FC3_86_64 to make it run, but I hate to have to do another full FC3 
installation from scratch.

The big question is: Is there a way to upgrade my present FC3_86 to an FC3_86_64 so that not only my data 
is kept but also all the various other products I have so far successfully installed?

The Fedora FC3_86 installation DVD runs fine on the new peocessor as does the rescue CD. Is there perhaps 
an easy way to go from FC3_86 to FC3_86_64 using one of these plus a few selected 64-bit RPMs?

Regards,
Erik P. Olsen
