Put an SSD in it and that Core 2 Duo will still be... functional. I would use Linux on it if you want it to be actually usable, but there's not necessarily anything wrong with an old Core 2 Duo if you use an SSD and a light OS.

 

Also; Godzilla had a stroke reading this and died.

A grumpy school IT guy with too many computers.

 

Primary:
Intel Core i9-10900K
48GB DDR4-3600 (2x16+2x8)

RTX 3060 12GB

a lot of SATA SSDs, too many some might say

 

Secondary:

Intel Core i7-4790K
16GB DDR3-1600
GTX 750 Ti

 

HTPC:
Intel Xeon e5-1620 v2
48GB ECC DDR3-1600
GT 730 1GB GDDR5

 

Laptop (ThinkPad W540)
Intel Core i7-4900MQ
32GB DDR3L-1600 (4x8)

Quadro K2100M

2880x1620 IPS Display
a glass trackpad stolen from an X1 Carbon G3

 

I have more... these are the ones that get used fairly often though.

+1 for Linux. Even with SSD, that Core2Duo might struggle a bit at basic things. Linux can be MANY times more lightweight than Windows.

Maybe try to upgrade Ram to 4gb, and basic things will be great.

 

Maybe Xubuntu, Lubuuntu Linux Mint with XFCE or Cinnamon maybe.
