Youโ€™ll want to download and install the most up-to-date drivers. I believe this model benefits from a slight overclock too, so maybe look at purchasing a decent aftermarket cooler

Kind of hard to give right answers to something that time has rendered utterly useless. I guess you could sell it as an antique

Saw a post on mastodon in the last day or so that someone dug up a network card for the old 486 they had been working on getting back to life. Might be a use case there, as well as in aviation and medicine - fields that move exceptionally slowly and tend to have expensive equipment with long lifetimes.
