From x86 to x86-64

Hello, I've installed x86 version of Lenny, but I have 64-bit processor. I'd like to change to use 64-bit version of debian. Is that possible without having to reinstall? I thought of using a separate working directory where to install everything (if that is possible), and then move them to root.
