32-bit

Hello, I have Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit already installed on my machine..I am using MongoDB and it does not work properly with 32 bit machine.

So I want to install 64 bit Ubuntu 10.10 on my system on another partition (so that I can have both 32 bit and 64 bit versions).

Is it okay to install both 32 bit and 64 bit? I mean will it give any problems? On which partition should I install the 64 bit version? My partitions are as follows:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              37G   11G   25G  30% /
none                  1.4G  260K  1.4G   1% /dev
none                  1.4G  776K  1.4G   1% /dev/shm
none                  1.4G  244K  1.4G   1% /var/run
none                  1.4G     0  1.4G   0% /var/lock
/dev/sda6             129G   73G   50G  60% /home
/dev/sda7             127G   76G   45G  64% /vol

Waiting for your replies.
