Yep, Linux ;-) Come to think of it, it will improve the os quality too imho. The other option would be to locate a newer BIOS for a similar (or the same) board and use it. If you have a friend in a computer store he will likely point you to the right heap of junk to choose from... Downloadable ? Mhh. Cheapbytes Linux = $3.95 ? Or Mandrake 7.0 off a magazine cover CD.
