You can install the 64-bit version if you wish, but I suspect that
installing 64-bit will not resolve the basic wifi setup you need to do
to get your wifi running.  You'll also likely also run into 64-bit
issues as shown in the archives on this list (flash, etc).

I'd recommend that you get the wifi & other bits working in 32-bit with
the existing install first & then if you wish to reinstall w/64-bit do
so. Afterall if you are going to trash the 32-bit install anyway, now is
a very good time to experiment away.
