Convert to media server

My old MBP is still working, great for a 10 year old mac. Although very slowly, now I only use it as a media server of sorts, upgraded the HDD to 750GB, battery and DVD drive are gone, 32bit apps stoped updating namely chrome ( only used for streaming podcasts/radio while working.

The problem is that is very slow or incapable of running/ loading movies (i.e. x265 codec videos) streams, etc...

Is there a way to speed it up ? Replace LB and use screen, keyboard and use as proper server 64bit, maybe? So it's compatible with my other work computers

You should consider running apple bootcamp so you may use windows 7 media server. If not, a factory reset should fix your problem.

== UPDATE ==

You have the 2.16 GHz, yes? If so, you can run a 64 bit os. An SSD would solve the slowness, and changing the OS to 64bit to solve the playback problem.

@pccheese - Sorry George going to MS Windows wont alter the limits of the hardware. Besides most people who bought Apple hardware want to stick with MacOS not switch to MS Windows.

Sorry there really isn't anything you can do here to address the limitations of the hardware.

Think hard how much you want to spend on replacing the HD to a hybrid or SSD drive as well as maxing out the RAM this system can support.

Frankly, I would look at saving my pennies to get a newer system or get a server system like a Mac mini.

@danj, I figured it was a software issue because apps arn't updating. My laptop came with a core duo T2300 (a very similar processor to this one's) and was perfectly capable of watching videos. I am not as experienced with Mac as you are, but-

Thanks, there's not much it can be done I guess. I might upgrade to a SSD or hook it to a External HD to play the random movies and music and keep up with my growing collection.

The Hardware 32-bit platform, limits a lot of apps. The latest VLC player, required to play x265 codec supports only 64-bit one. So the latest videos are a hassle.

The factory reset did work, kind of, got rid of all the bloat and doesn't feel as laggy as before.

Thanks, guys

You can actually use the LCD as an external monitor if you use a driver board for the correct LCD.
