I'm so old

[OfficialDepressedSquid]

I have an old MacBook Core 2 Duo released in early 2008 (or "MacBook 4, 1 for some people). What can I do with it today, and how can I do it? I know I can upgrade my hard drive to an SSD, upgrade my RAM up to DDR2 6GB, and install OS X Lion and Windows 10 at the maximum. But I was wondering if you can game at all on it? I'm not a serious gamer at all, simple games like Minecraft up to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is the most I will be doing.

 

Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.1GHZ)

4GB DDR2 RAM

240GB SSD

Intel GMA X3100

OS X Lion / Windows 10

I'd hang myself before using that, lol.

 

Explanation:

• Slow GHz for games that are CPU intensive or single core intensive
• DDR2 is old, people are going for DDR4 now-a-days
• You may want to get a low-end GPU

Low end gpu for NOTEBOOK ?! Nope. Those external cases for GPUs to work with cost more than his macbook....

You are more likely to find a cure for cancer than game on that above 20fps

The best way to upgrade this laptop is to sell it and buy a better one. You're beating a dead horse. Getting an SSD will speed it up a bit but bear in mind, it uses SATA 2 (3Gbps) so yea... Core 2 Duo? Gaming? Nah... I had one of those- found it in a dump and fixed it. Only game that run on it perfectly fine was Diablo 2.

I fixed a Hp laptop that had a core2duo and 4 gigs of ram, replaced it w/ and ssd, aaaand. Nope, even 1080 video struggles, and an external gpu on that ? Nope man, you should sell that and get something else. You sell it for quite some money, as macbooks don't sell for cheap, at least in my country.

Most of you guys are requesting me to sell it, but how much would people be willing to pay for a piece of shit like this? ?
