Donate it to something, that computer is perfectly fine for anything other than Gaming/CAD.

general office use, internet browsing, pretty much all anybody really needs a computer for it can do... hell it'll kick ass at unreal turnament...

Either that or could hook up to TV/use as emulation machine.

320mb of ram will run most things. I'd personally put some flavor of *nix on there if you don't already have a *nix box.
