Wow, Ubuntu made that easy! I didn't have to do anything, it just gave me radio button options to install it over the old OS or in a second partition.

I'm primarily running math programs which benefit significantly (+80% to +200%) from the move to 64-bit. So far only one of the apps I tried to install wouldn't work (an FTP program), but there were plenty of substitutes so I just went for a different one.
