Only Vista Ultimate is shipped with the 2 versions in 1 package.
According to Microsoft, you should be able to order (for a small fee) the 64-bit edition for all other versions except Basic here .
I tried this with the Windows-code on the back of the laptop, but I only get "Sorry, no offers found" or something. I called Sony Support, they are now processing my request.
Even if you CAN install 64-bit, it's still waiting to see how the hardware will respond to it. You need 64-bit drivers for everything, so if there is no 64-bit camera driver, you can forget about it.

Windows 64 bit editions should work with that processor, but as you say Lord_Olorin Sony don't seem to be that forthcoming with that edition.

Its always been the same old story with 64 bit Drivers there always very hard to come by, When the 32bit drivers are in abundance its always been 64 lagging behind & now that VISTA is on the scene i see the same thing happening & nobody will be able to get the 64bit drivers so easy......
