x86 to 64bit upgrade

[xImran]

Hi

I would like to know what's the safe way to move from 8.2.0 x86 to 8.2.0 64bit ?

Currently we are running on P4 server with 3GB RAM and now we bought new server with 8GB RAM.

Thanks in advance.

I'd go for:
1. Install the 64bit version on the new system,
2. Import your old config,
3. Migrate hdds (or copy over stuff).

Also you could directly upgrade from 32bit to 64bit (I've done that once by accident - everything worked out fine), but since you got new underlying hardware a fresh install is more appropriate.
