It looks like you'll have to wait for now - the AMD Athlon II X2 250 lacks SSE4.1/4.2 instructions and the AMD kernel developers are currently working on it - take a look: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312714-amd-macos-1012x-sierra-kernel-testing-release-for-help-use-the-help-topic/?p=2340057

 

As you can see: http://amd-osx.com/download.html they need support for those instructions for the kernel to work right now. So be patient.

 

But according to your other hardware your GT 730 will work, it seems your motherboard is an older MCP61 type which means there's a few kexts you can try to get your LAN going like NForceLAN.kext but I have no idea if it works on Sierra. You might be the first to find out. For audio I'd try VoodooHDA first.

So it will work at least on El Capitan? :)

Yep as far as I know, your CPU should work with the El Capitan AMD kernel. I should note that the AMD Athlon II X2 250 also lacks SSSE3 support, but from what I understand someone wrote an emulator into the kernel code for that. The version on http://amd-osx.com should work fine.

I have last question and it is about nforce chipset in my mobo.

Last time when i tried ML/M/Y with AMD kernels, i had problems with AppleNforceAta.kext  (verdant made a guide but i didnt found answer :c)

Funny thing is, that i made it working on AMD laptop to show at least setup window (there wasnt some option to edit disc but i know why)

Do you think there is a way, to make it run?

Yeah El Cap will work fine. If you need the NForce kexts let me know and I'll upload the ones I use for you :)

Yeah that would be great :D

 

But will it be possible to build it with transmac? I was doing it this style everytime when i was trying to make it work :D
