No guarantees...

Microsoft released the 32-bit upgrade path, but not the 64-bit path, meaning there are no guarantees concerning the upgrade to Vista x64 editions. All I can say is make sure you keep up-to-date backups of all of your files and try the upgrade...if it corrupts data or simply doesn't work then at least you're prepared to perform a clean installation.
