Update from 32-bit to 64-bit or Just MySQL to 64-bit?

I have an existing instance of WAMP 2.2 32-bit running on a 2008 Server (64-bit). It is an important machine as it's quasi production for an application we are developing (but using in production).

MySQL performance compared to a lesser machine running on Ubuntu Linux is slow, in spite of having much beefier hardware on the Windows side. Our server admin looked at tweaking the setup and realized that we are running 32-bit WAMP and threw in the towel. To do anything performance tweak wise, we need to get MySQL to the 64-bit version.

I would like to get this to 64-bit with the least amount of disruption as possible. Either I would backup/uninstall current 2.2. (32-bit) and install 2.4 64-bit, or perhaps upgrade MySQL to 64-bit per this forum post (http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,111797,111797)

Would appreciate any wisdom on this...
