E5506, not really any real use, would get better performance with a $30 used, newer xeon on ebay.

X5650, maybe some use in a home NAS or htpc (with dedicated gpu for decode), but these are both over a decade old and youll get much better power efficient parts real cheap these days.

An i3-10100f would be more powerful and far more power efficient than these.
