I have not experimented with old hardware, but I will say that the old motherboard and processor have a higher power consumption. For example, a new motherboard and processor will consume 40-50 watts and yours 80-100 watts.
You may have problems with this hardware.

Try to install Linux OS for mining and check the result, if it does not work out, you can buy inexpensively asus m5a78l-m lx3 + x2 CPU( X2 240,X2 245) + 4 GB DDR3.

Thanks for your time and response. I just dusted the computer after 5 years and I turned it on. It booted like a charm. Will give a try.
