    I’ve thrown out my Q6600 in 2020 and that was more than overdue. Deploying any Core 2 doesn’t make sense in 2023 since you can get haswell and newer generations fully built (office PCs) for < 50 €.

    Unless you like to throw money away, this is a way more capable machine for around the same price.

    Yes it could, however the TDP on that chip is 95 watts. Depending on where you live that will cost you at-least $10 a month in power, probably more.

    However you can find HP G3 EliteDesk 800 on ebay for $90 that will run circles around that computer and take less power. Take a look at this video to see how.

    The system is not the worst deal in the world if you can sell that GT 1030 for $40. It will run a Minecraft server and a NAS. This is a great option if your electric is free, it will be a power hog
