Amazon EC2 Upgrade Problem

My current instance is 32 Bit Windows 2008 server with 613 MB memory. I create an ami and then try to launch new instance from that AMI. I want create an large instance with(7.5 GB Memory etc) from that AMI. But there is a problem. The choices are micro, small and high cpu with max 1.7 GB Ram.

Why? What should I do?

64 bit instances cannot be generated from 32 bit AMI.

You need a manual operation, something like "create a 64 bit instance and turn off a 32 bit instance".

I think the issue here is that the large instances are 64 bit only. You can't just spin up a 64 bit virtual machine with a 32 bit server image.

So what to do? You need to start up an new 64 bit machine and configure it in the same way as you currently have you 32 bit machine.
