1.) Yes, it's called the Transition Pack. Does exactly what you want it to
do.
2.) Depends on how you bought it. If you have it via Volume License - you
can have it either way. If it's an OEM copy that shipped with the system,
you're stuck. But why do you want to downgrade it? If there are issues, many
of them can be resolved, and we'd love to help you work through them. But
for that question, better over on the 64bit newsgroup -

Hi,

Can anyone tell me the best way i can upgrade windows 2003 sbs to
windows 2003 standard server? The sbs edition has worked well for me
for the last couple of years, but with Infrastructure growing, I want
to move to Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition. What's the best route
to do this?

Also, could anyone tell me if there is any way i can downgrade Windows
2003 x64 Standard to Windows 2003 x32 Standard? Do i have to buy the
operating system all over again or is there some way of downgrading the
licence and installing the new operating system?

Thanks for the help,

Richard
