Just how bad is my computer?

It's an old Mac, and I'm just curious as to what the techies here on the forums have to say about my computer. On a scale of 1 to dank, how shitty is this?

[Coar]

I would say a 1

Minus 9 points because it is a mac.

I'd say 3. It's a 3 generation old platform, only dual core, only 2GHz, no L3 cache, has a junk GPU, and only 1GB RAM.

[Cantii]

I'd go with a 3 as well. It's very old and I don't see it even beginning to run anything modern anywhere close to well.

Why are you asking this? Are you thinking about buying a new computer?

As for everyday use it's more the enough, but since you post here it's likely that you're gamer and for such purposes it's junk.

Like others have said, for gaming its junk.

It's odd, my PC is roughly the same age and significantly more powerful than the specs you posted.

While your CPU might still be ok, your RAM and GPU are not. If WoW is all you play, it won't matter, though.
