fwiw mine is 64 bit.
I found this quite a useful summary of the various distros:

Just tried a live version of Ubuntu (albeit still with my HHD and 2GB RAM)... definitely was not happy. Although it did look nicer, it did remind me how shit a slow laptop is, and why I was happy to live with a slightly dated / quaint interface.
Going to put MATE on a USB and give that a go.

I think it is 32 bit yes but I got the model wrong. Its the satellite-p200-1ee and has RAM of 4096MB rather than 2048MB but I'll add Mint MATE to list to try as well.
