FWIW, on my own T61-with-SSD (tho with 8GB of RAM), I use the 32bit
version of Debian, tho with a 64bit kernel (i.e. aptitude install
linux-image-amd64).
But to a large extent, whether you use the 64bit or the 32bit version
doesn't make any difference whatsoever. E.g. I don't think it's worth
going through a re-install just to go from one to the other.
