The Pentium E5400 is a dual-core processor from 2009 running at 2.7GHz. It will not run a modern Windows desktop pleasantly, and it is not intended to. What it does do is run reliably, draw little power and cost very little to deploy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe roles where it still earns its place are specific and real: a kiosk or signage player, a lightweight Linux terminal, a print or file server on a small network, a legacy application host that needs a serial or parallel port, a workshop or classroom machine where damage or theft would not matter, or a spare that sits in a cupboard until something else fails. With 4GB of RAM and a lightweight Linux desktop such as Lubuntu or antiX, everyday browsing and document work is genuinely usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 500GB hard drive gives it more storage than the workload will ever need, which makes it a reasonable candidate for a small file or backup box. Fitting a cheap SATA SSD would sharpen it considerably if you want to push it further. Integrated Intel graphics drive a single monitor over VGA, and Gigabit Ethernet handles networking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 style=\"color:#0060a9;margin-top:22px;\"\u003eTechnical
