I ended up building a full blown server based on I3. Microcenter has an I3 sale going on but I found out about it after buying all the components. Still have a lot of rebates to fill out. So the little PC's function will end up in its own VM. I was surprised however to see how many different P4 processors Microcenter sells -- most for under $10. I wondered who buys these anymore? Right now I'm thinking of popping a new P4 chip in as a lark just to see if it brings this PC back to life.
