Long after Apple stopped supporting my 32 bit Core Duo 1.66Ghz circa 2006 Mac Mini with 1.5Gb RAM, I was able to install
Windows 7 and my mom still uses it occasionally with the latest version of Chrome, iTunes and Office 2010 as a secondary computer.
Her main computer is my old Sony Vaio 1.66Ghz Core Duo (bought used from Woot in 2007) all in one desktop with
2Gb RAM and a 1600x900 17” monitor. It’s running Windows 7.
Neither feels slow.
My Plex server until earlier this year was a 2009 Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz Dell business laptop with 8Gb RAM, gigabit Ethernet and one of the last great 1920x1200 displays.
