A decade later? You should buy a new computer.
Core 2 duo is more than a decade old and I think that it should be good enough for a lot of tasks.

Something to think about: have you tried developing modern software on that Core 2 Duo? Are you OK with only having hardware that can consume software (libre or not) that was created (compiled) on more powerful, non-free systems?
I'd like to see some discussion on this particular topic, especially since it ties in so closely with the start of GNU and libre software as we know it today -- it was recognised early on that a libre compiler was needed for libre software to be truly free. Yet here we are, again restricting the tools needed to compile software to non-free systems.
Apologies if this is off topic. :-)
