Thanks,

  The short answer as far as I know is NO!
  Unless you have 32bit applications that specifically require the 32bit
kernel I would suggest this is a bad idea that probably won't work or be
more trouble than it's worth.
  I'd recommend you install F16 64bit with 32bit application support.
This is already implemented and working, and by using backups you should
be able to do this relatively easily, (compared to your suggestion).
  If you do find a way of upgrading from f16 32bit to f16 64bit it would
be interesting to hear how you get on. But I've never heard of it being
available, or attempted.

In the fedora repo, install a app called  ailurus , open app and click on tab "information"  and  scroll down to where you see  "64 bit CPU?"  if it says Yes! you do
have a 32/64 .

There is still a lot 32 apps out there you can't run on a 64 bit install.
That is why I went back to 32 bit apps on my 32/64 box.

The dual, triple core CPU's run 32/64 bits
