How well does a pentium dual core hold up in 2024? (Eid mubarak!)

Hey guys. Hope you guys enjoy this unscripted mess of a video. apologies if it is quite long but hopefully it shows what the machine is currently capable of. Have a goos one!

They don't hold up very well for gaming, I got a stack of them from a job site and wondered what I could do with them. I decided to put them to use running pfsense for a router and two pi-holes for network ad blocking and recursive dns. Works great with my Gig internet.

Thats actually a good use case! I was originally trying to upgrade this thing to a core 2 quad but when I tried, it just gave the typical HP beep code for cpus. Even an e7400 didnt work. I wish gig internet was more accessible here in terms of pricing.

I like to erase the hard drives and install Linux mint on these older computers. Everything Works great with the exception of gaming. I have given away a lot of these computers to wife's family members in Mexico to help them out.

Linux is the saving grace for these old machines. No doubt about that! Thats really good of you to do that!
