No, the first 64bit Thinkpad was the T61 with the SantaRosa chipset.

According to: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-54876
The Pentium M and Celeron M processors available for R51 are not 64-bit capable. Of Intel's mobile processors, only Core 2 Duo and other Merom core processors are 64-bit capable.

Just nitpicking.

Core 2 Duo processors became available on T60 in Q4 2006 so they are the first T series that are 64-bit capable. I got one of these specimens running Vista 64 here.

It would be easier to help you if you tell us what CPU you have. If it's Core 2 Duo, then it does support 64 bit.

Now it's my turn to be nit-picking

. R51's did not come with a Core 2 Duo. Pentium M's and Celeron M's only.
