What do I do with it, fora? Can I mine bitcoins on it?

Browse the net with IE6 and see how fast you can get that copy of XP infected.

But you don't understand, this is a Pentium 4 HT. It's hyperthreading so it's almost the same as a dual core.

You could have mined bitcoin on it many years ago before the difficulty skyrocketed. I mined over 900 bitcoin on a celeron.
