64MB is a bit light for a modern distribution to be used comfortably. But major problem could be the rest of the laptop.

I would recommend trying the Knoppix live CD on it first to see if the hardware etc is detected, and it will also give you a good feel if a modern KDE/Gnome distribution would run comfortably.
