Probably quite off the wall and not acceptable, but there are other
operating systems!  At work we regularly repurposed old 32-bit Windows
boxes as up to date 64-bit Linux boxes when a special use one-off node
was needed.  For some reason best known to Microsoft Windows held
systems down in 32-bit node for years after they were internally 64-
bit.  the other thing is that Linux generally has a lighter demand on
the system that Windows and will run nicely on some older machines. 
Come out of the dark into the light!:-)
