Generally reinstalling and reconfiguring is going to be your easiest 
option.  What setup did you do?  Things like home directories should 
mostly just work if you install the same packages.  You can obviously 
run a 32-bit version of Ubuntu on an amd64 system but you won't get the 
full advantage of running a 64-bit system.  It is also possible to run a 
64-bit kernel and a 32-bit userland but this might not be supported by 
Ubuntu.
