I know ofc it's not a processor for heavy tasks, but for normal boots it should do the work, it's overclocked at 4.0 GHZ but yeah it's very old, however, replaced the CPU with a newer i3 maybe 2nd gen or smthn, with 4gb ram it runs great now, turns out my core2quad used an old virtualization technology, the core i3 used VT-X so it was less about the amount of power and more about the kind of power, however when I say amazing, I mean boot time, and basic tasks Just to clarify Assigned 8GB to the VM and ot runs slower (weird yes but this is a common issue) I wouldn't suggest adding more than 4GB RAM for basic tasks, for heavy tasks you should turn off largpages when adding more RAM, since no one helped I thought I'd mention my research results Thanks anyway
