Yes, you can.
It's way outdated though, so I recommend you slap on Ubuntu or something on that machine.

Yeah, especially if you upgrade it with a new mobo, power supply, SSD, and 7500-series or better GPUs  Grin

On the serious side, you could do a little pool mining on the lighter crypto-currencies (LTC/FC), but your accepted shares per watt-hour would be vanishingly small.  For Bitcoin mining, probably any share you submitted would be stale.
