Memory
The average score for this Mac is around 396 but this one in particular this slightly lower at a score of 340 and if i compared it to and new MacBook the score is significantly low as a new one has an average score of 1150. The RAM on this Mac is fairly standard and got a score of 108 and had 4GB of it but a newer mac has double this at around 8GB of RAM and has a score of 181. There was also a very significant increase in the RAM speed between the old and new MacBooks. This on here has a speed of about 2687MB/s but a newer Mac had a RAM Speed of 9000MB/s.
This could simply be improved by adding a bigger RAM card or adding another one which could improve the RAM speed overall.
CPU
After looking at some other scores of Macs I found that this one have a low score compared to some of the newer models but this could be because it has an Intel Core Duo processor running at 2530MHz but a newer one has a score of 744 but the newer models do have an Intel Core i7 processor running at 240MHz.
A way of improving this would be to replace the processor with a newer one but this can be quite difficult to do in some cases and can be quite expensive.
Graphics
The graphics card in this model of MacBook are quite poor compared to the ones in newer Macs, this one runs a Nvidia GeForece 9600M GT and only has a score of 29 and runs 70 3D frames a second whereas the newer models run at about 518 3D frames per second and have an average score of about 166 which is a huge improvement on the older ones.
The graphics could be improved be installing a new more powerful graphics card that has more memory.
Hardware
When comparing the two computers on this test it is a bit different to the others, for one this computer has a higher Primary Partition Capacity compared to the new one as it has 223GB and the newer one only has 195GB but there is a huge difference in the Drive Write Speed as this one only has a write speed of 40MB/s and the new model has a write speed or 288MB/s
The write speed of a hard drive can be improved by replacing the harddrive to a newer one with more space.
