I've seen it on thinkwiki, but again without proper reference. Isn't
forum.thnikpads.com mainly aimed at Windows users?

Looking at a sticky thread [1], it starts like a seriously-meant notice,
but again, first post was actually edited to include the T60 blurb and
no real reference given.

OTOH, user at [2] is running Gutsy (Ubuntu) and says that he sees only
3GB on a 64-bit system.

I don't like phrases "HW limitation" and "This works under Vista 64"
together. I've just upgraded my T60 to 3GB (added a 2GB module), so I
probably won't have the pleasure to verify this myself... :)
