MacPro, 2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor and OS 10.7.5 barely runs Safari anymore. What can I do?

I have 3 Apple MAC computers. The oldest one, a MacPro configured with:

2 x 3 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor,

15 GB 667 MHz DDR2 FB-DIMM,

ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB

and OS 10.7.5 which barely runs Safari and iCloud anymore. FIREFOX and CHROME are just as frustrating. It is very hard to get on line.

As I and everyone knows this OS and this processor was abandoned and not upgradable,

What can I do?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 15 GB 667ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB

The platform ended support with 10.7.5, but the CPU(s) is 64 bit and still usable.

Consider turning this into a Windows box or running Ubuntu. You system exceeds the requirements and if nothing else will have access to more recent browsers and their securities.
