Late 2008 Macbook runs much faster

Like most reviewers on here, I was nervous to upgrade because of all the negative reviews. But my old 2008 Macbook’s processor was getting more and more stressed from Yosemite and I was really sick of seeing the pinwheel spinning endlessly for even the smallest tasks, so I figured I had to bite the bullet and try El Capitan to see if the promised ‘under the hood upgrades’ really did help it run faster. And WOW what a difference it made! Before, content heavy websites or HD streaming would load slowly and make the computer unbearably loud, but now they are no problem and surfing the web is completely smooth! Apps are also opening much quicker - many more than twice as fast. So, for anyone with a computer as old as mine, I definitely recommend this update to breathe some new life into your device!
