hmm... I don't *think* it is all that difficult, in theory. As long as your hardware is 64-bit compatible (which it will be if it is a new system), then as far as I know it is as simple as purchasing the correct operating system for your needs and doing the "expansion install" (so to speak). Actually, I think there is a specific Vista 64-bit "upgrade version" for people who want to upgrade from Vista 32-bit to Vista 64-bit -- I could be wrong on that though.
I'm sure someone else will give you more exacting advice.
