It was just me who wanted to run it as a media center-esque unit. Despite not knowing the butt end from the “but…” end of a kid, he had the good sense to say, “They’re not going to do anything overly strenuous with it, are they?” (They are after all still at primary school and they don’t play any graphic or CPU intensive games or do any video editing) And he was right. And who did I really want that for anyway? Thanks to fellow AM-er, James, for setting me straight. I had been considering the ants-pants-super-duper-Mac-mini-with-the-lot but car repairs put paid to that idea. And my boys have been complaining that Wesnoth takes forever to load. It’s adequate, but newer programs run slowly. They currently have a five year old G3 iMac. Over the last few days, I was trying to decide what Mac to buy for my kids. It’s particularly useful when you are shopping for secondhand gear. That’s a lot of useful information and despite the name, it does include more than just Macs.

Also included is information on Apple mice, keyboards, displays, printers, scanners, digital cameras, iPod, AirPort Base Stations, Newtons, and Mac OS versions.
Mactracker provides detailed information on every Apple, Motorola, PowerComputing, and UMAX Mac OS computer ever made, including items such as processor speed, memory, optical drives, graphic cards, supported Mac OS versions, and expansion options. Now I have discovered there is an offline Mac history database, called MacTracker: A couple of sites I have found particularly useful, when I’ve needed information on Macs, from days gone by are: Every Mac and Apple History. That’s why we hang out on every Mac blog on the street. Have some old Mac stuff here too, a 2007 iMac with similar specs, although it has a whopping 2GB (2 x 1GB) RAM and runs at a blistering 2.0 GHz.We Mac fans love information.

Have read some were able to upgrade theirs to 4GB (2 x 2GB) but it's not worth it (for me) at this point. Have a 2009 MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo too, that is also no longer supported by Apple. You might be able to get Win 10 to work on your old MacBook but it's pretty much guaranteed to be very slow and extremely frustrating to use. I was able to load a light Linux distro (Mint Xfce) on my 2007 but it was slow and buggy, which often required rebooting, so it sat in a corner for awhile. Linux works fine on the 2009 (Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz, 8GB RAM). Had a problem installing every distro I tried since it has a Broadcomm WiFi chip.
#MACTRACKER ONLINE DRIVER#
What I recently found instead of Linux is Neverware's CloudReady download: Ended up installing Mint the via ethernet port, then did a simple download/install of the WiFi driver with the Terminal. It basically made the 2007 into a Chromebox clone (Chromium) and the 2009 laptop into a Chromebook clone.

After install everything worked perfectly 'out of the gate' and after a couple updates both continue to run smoothly.
They are very usable for email, surfing, and all the other Google stuff. A friend was supposed to line up a couple folks that could use them but I haven't heard from him so I may just donate them to make room for something new. If you're set on Win 10 though, give it a shot and let us know how it goes.īut I think I might try out this Neverware that rb0321 mentioned on that old HP Netbook. (Schools around here have students do their homework on Google Classroom.) If that works, my daughter can use that computer for her homework. Sounds like CloudReady would just the thing then. I downloaded the 32-bit version of CloudReady and it copied itself to the USB stick.
Ran it off the USB stick and had my daughter see if she could see her work at school and.
