Dual-booting amd64 and 32 bit x86?

Everyone,

I have ordered a eMachines M6809 and expect to take delivery on it later
this week.  To begin with, I'll probably install the 32 bit x86 version
of Fedora and run that on it as I often use VMWare to run various
version of windows.  I'm making the only slightly educated assumption
that I will have to run the 32 bit kernel so that VMWare's kernel
modules will work with it.

However, I'd like to play with the 64 but stuff too.  I think that the
best way to do this is to have separate partition(s) set up so that I
can dual-boot between the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Fedora.  Is this
the case?  Is there a better way?

Thanks,
