          As I wrote above.

          Chose the pfsense 2.0 amd64 version instead of the i386.

          As you can see here, your CPU is 64-bit capable:

          To update your current pfsense version to amd64 just go to:
          SYSTEM -> Firmware -> and then select there the amd64 release and update.
          All your configuration files will be backuped and restored.

                after checking amd64 and clicking save, go to "Auto update" and then you should be able to update to the other version.

                    You may have to re-install the 64bit version.  :(
                    It's not hard though and you can backup and restore your config.
                    Alternatively wait until 2.0.1 is released and you can then upgrade to it.

                    Do you really need more than 2GB?

                      Download the upgrade file and apply it as a manual firmware update. Both i386 and amd64 are on 2.0-RELEASE so it will not say the other one is 'new', so a manual upgrade is required.

                      That said, cross-architecture upgrades are not really supported - it may work, most certainly requires a manual reboot at the end, but you'll have other quirks like the RRD data is incompatible once you switch so it must be reset.
