Jay may be onto something. I know the 2007 MacBook—my wife and daughter each had one.

These came with 1G RAM upgradable to 3G (mid 2007) or 6G (late 2007). Likewise, it came with an old, slow 120–160G hard drives. Unless it has been upgraded to an SDD, this is a slow Mac by any standard.

If you do not have 3G RAM, I may have a pair of sticks that will work (I meant to recycle but it may be in a box in my garage). Anyway, if you need and I still have, it’s yours. You pop the little keyboard clips, if I recall correctly.

If you still have a mechanical hard drive, an SSD (solid state drive) will make your MacBook run many times faster. 240–250G drives run $50–$80 on Amazon.

High Sierra will not run on these. Lion is the latest OS but most are running Snow Leopard as you can still run PPC apps with Rosetta enabled.
