Old motherboard

[felix920506]

I have a motherboard/cpu/ram combo from very old system:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2C2T@2.11GHz

Gigabyte GA-M61SME-S2 (Nvidia Nforce 405 /Geforce 6100 chipset)
2x AMD only DDR2 4GB sticks (max supported 8GB)

 

has:
4 USB 1.1/2.0 ports

2 PS/2 ports

Realtek audio

Realtek 10/100 Lan

1 PCIE 16X slot

1 PCIE 1x slot

2 PCI slots

2 DIMM Slots

Google the model number for more info

 

What can I do with it other than recycling it?

 

P.S. I have an AMD stock cooler on hand.

Sell it to a miner that just needs something with PCIe slots

retro machine that runs native xp , which is apparently going to be a rare thing pretty soon. 

it would be nice to just have a machine that always works and is meant for computing tasks as opposed to our "windows 10 needs to upload your nudes to the nsa today" method we're currently enjoying from microsoft.

Give it to me so I can refine the gold out of it.

It runs Windows 10 64-bit just fine.

You can see inside my signature that I already have a Media PC that can pull double duty as a NAS

Make a DPI firewall/router out of it.  Network level Anti Virus/ad-blocking/etc are possible with DPI.
