If you haven't already kept /home on a separate partition, you should in the future; it will make life easier.
In any case, back up /home and restore later, it will allow you to keep your config files.
You might also want to run
$dpkg -l > ~/installed
to save the list of installed packages to a file called "installed" and then refer to that that as you install any non-default packages you may have installed on your 32-bit machine.
Good luck,
Paul
