Yes - Windows Keys are valid for either 32-bit or 64-bit installs (but not both at the same time!)

You must have a genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit DVD in order to install a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. Your genuine product key will work with either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium.

Yep :)
If you don't have a 64-bit install disk handy, you can download the ISO file for the SP1 U Media Refresh for your edition using the links from this site...
