Hello,
I have a quick beginner question: if I have a decent amount of RAM (8GB), a new SSD, but a 11 year old mother/logic board with an Intel Core 2 Duo with 3.06 GHz, would that computer still be able to be fast and usable in 2021?
Thank you!
Intel Core 2 Duo
Usable probably for browsing or other basic functions. Fast, nope.Hello,

Ok, a little more clarification might be needed. It is an older iMac with those comoponents. my question is: How much does this older CPU hold it back? I would solely use it for work, i.e. Web browsing, email and documents. No gaming or any video editing, ..
What OS do you plan on using? Mac OS is probably limited to an old version because of the age of the CPU.Thank you for your replies!

A lotSo how much is the CPU holding me back here, if I were to compare it with a newer 7th gen i5 or i7? Would multitasking be better in the newer ones, would the system be more snappier?
You are trying to compare an 11 years old CPU with a 7gen CPU? That's not fairSo how much is the CPU holding me back here, if I were to compare it with a newer 7th gen i5 or i7? Would multitasking be better in the newer ones, would the system be more snappier?
What multi-tasking?So how much is the CPU holding me back here, if I were to compare it with a newer 7th gen i5 or i7? Would multitasking be better in the newer ones, would the system be more snappier?
