I dropped Win7 Ultimate (32-bit) onto my Linux box with 8G, so I’m currently not using about 4.5G of memory. I think I may be needing a new SSD to replace that rotating hardware, and what better time to move up to 64-bit?

No argument there, for those comfortable reinstalling Windows. One thing about Windows 7 is that it asks a lot fewer questions than earlier versions did, so installing it is nowhere near as intimidating as it was in the 98/NT4 days. Or even XP.
