I suppose, this is the first line of vmstat output? It's useless - this
is overall statistics since system boot. Drop the first line, then wait
another 10 seconds for another line to appear. Or just post the output
of "vmstat 10 10"

I don't see an urgent reason to migrate to 64 bit... I would have
installed this machine 64 bit at the beginning, just because it's a 64
bit machine. You'll lose some performance, but it might be barely
noticeable.
