If you don't personally care about that T60, because it's the notebook
your mom gave you for your 16th birthday or so, you would probably be
better served with buying another old T-Thinkpad that can run amd64
AND suport amounts of memory that haven't totally fallen out of time.

Ten year old 64bit Notebooks such as the T420 or T430 (three years
younger than your T60) sell for below 100 Euros. Is that a problem?
