The 64-bit version should run on that machine, though it's true that 2GB
is getting a bit on the tight side these days.  I think you'd find it
worth your while to add more RAM if you can: Lenovo says that that
machine takes up to 4GB, which depending on how its RAM slots are
currently filled should only cost somewhere around your local equivalent
of £30 (though
https://www.compuram.biz/memory/lenovo/notebook/thinkpad/x-series/x61-x61s/
disagrees and thinks that 8GB will in fact work; at your own risk I
suppose).

Failing that, it might be better to use one of the more lightweight
desktop flavours.
