Assuming that exists you might, and you could get some software which is five 
years out of date. But unless you have a very good reason to stay with FC5 I 
would do a clean install of a newer version. I would download the FC12 Live-CD 
and see how it runs on this hardware before installing anything, over half of 
the machine I have running FC12 took video tweaks to get any display.
