Default possible to upgrade directly from 32bit vista ultimate to 64bit?

i just upgraded my pc, adding 4gb ram to the gb it already had.
i boto it up, the bios detects the 5gb ram fine.

i go in windows, and it only detects 3.5gb of the ram.
i forgot that 32bit os's wont detect more then 4gb ram

looking on microsofts site, there is no info on wether or not its possible to directly upgrade from 32bit to 64bit vista ultimate. on the purchase window, i don't even see anything defining 32 or 64bit versions.

so, does anybody out there know if there is a way to convert 32bit vista ultimate to 64bit vista ultimate WITHOUT doing a clean install?
