I was about to migrate to Win7 Professional 64 bit (using an OEM DVD

looks like it might be an expensive mistake UNLESS ...

Can a 64 bit OEM licence key be used for the 32 bit version? (This is
OEM,
not retail). If it can then I only to borrow the 32 bit media from
somewhere, but web searches give conflicting advice.

The licence keys are different. Did you buy the machine and software from
Novatech at the same time? If so you might have a good case against them.

No, I'm re-vamping my X60s with an SSD and (supposedly) Win7. I should
have run the MS compatibility tool first :-(

install linux, set up a 32 bit virtual computer and install the windoze
on that.
