Intel 5000V Northbridge chipset on server M/Board was used for MS2003/WHS svr would like to maximize life - is it possible to upgrade this chipset to run modern O/S? If possible Clues on how to do this would be g8. Thanks

I have an now redundant server - using Intel 5000V Northbridge chipset on Supermicro X7DVL-E LGA771 server M/Board which was used for MS2003/ Windows home server software. I would like to maximize life as it has not been heavily loaded. I know it can run MS2008 but would like to use this with say Win7 or Win8. I read somewhere that the chipset on the motherboard is the critical thing to update to address this - is it possible?

If it is possible, Any clues to help would be great.

Thanks

Rick
