macbook from 2009

iam going to instal windows 7 as dual boot and iam going to check if beamg is going to be better than my old macbool pro 2006 it runs elcapiteino and 4 gb ram (going to 6 (maximun) but it can handle 8 idk if its going to use all of the ram because iam a bit scared because it cost aa ton to get 2x4 gb ddr2 sodimms)
and 500 gb 2.13 ghz core 2 duo my only problem is screen has water damage iam buying a broken one to repla e the screen later on

 

It won't run well on a C2D. Only MacBook it would run on would be a 2012 13" with i7 3520M or newer with Iris graphics, or any quad-core 15" with decent graphics (Iris, GT750M and up).

 

an old laptop won't run beamNG drive

 

listen my macbook pro 2006 run it wel soo
and my old school laptop from 2007 ran it better core 2 duo aswel

 

That doesn't sound possible

 

Hardware from 2006 will not run BeamNG.Drive properly. A first-gen desktop i7 (i7 920, Nehalem, 2008) is the oldest CPU which will achieve acceptable frame rates I guess. Maybe an overclocked Core 2 Extreme will do the job as well.

 

ya a core 2 extreme would run the game well depends on the map and amount of cars

 

4 cores / 4 threads so I'm guessing that it will slow down after approximately 3 cars.
However, my i7 3770 does that as well after 4 cars so yeah

 

and 1 car per thread, so you can probably have 4 cars on screen in East Coast USA and be getting 40 FPS still very playable

 

Hm, last thread will run Windows and the rest?
My guess is three, but whatever.

Single thread Passmark of a C2X QX9770 is 1374, so powerful enough to achieve ~30 to 45 fps.
An i5 2400 delivers 60 fps at ease with one vehicle. Single thread 2216.

 

Wont run and wont take 8gb, the chipset wont recognise the upper 2gb and will fail to POST. I've tried.

 

ok thx i wil hunt for the 6 gb

i got here a core 2 quad pc running this pc at a steady 30+ fps

 

I had BeamNG running on my 2010 MacBook Pro... it has an Intel Cor2Duo running at 2.4GHz, 1TB SSD hard drive, 16Gb of RAM, and an NVidia 320M graphics chip... It ran BeamNG just fine right up until they made the jump to DirectX 11... then, because of my graphics, it could no longer run the game... however, even when I could run it, I wouldn't have any problems with FPS from the physics... it was all about the graphics. It had to be on the lowest settings possible to run at a playable FPS... anything more and it was so choppy that you couldn't play. So much older then that I would be seriously impressed that it could run. Especially because of the DirectX 11 problem.

 

a core 2 extreme would get 40 fps plus

 

Iam.just saying i got a ssf pc and.buffed it to play gta and beamng enoug so

 

I managed to play beamng with a e6600 dual core and it runs better than my i7 from my Laptop

 

ULP i7s are crap.

 

Yeah its the 720qm wich wont clock over 0,8 ghz in multicore mode

 

Not ULP, but it's a first gen i7 - 45nm, not very power efficient, IPC isn't very good either.

 

I know i hope I can sell the Laptop with this i7 and hopefully i can buy a new CPU of that money
