I ran OpenSuSE 64-bit happily for 2 years on my T61, before the 
increasing strictness of Windows lock-down in our organization and the 
partial obsolescence of T61 made dual boot less attractive.  I can't see 
running SuSE64 on TP as a novel idea after the passage of this much 
time, although you would want 2GB before expecting an advantage, and you 
will still see some restrictions.  For example, only Opera64 worked well 
with YouTube and with some of the public wireless access points (which 
don't work with IE or FF either !), and I never got Skype microphone 
working.
