mikenzb Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I just dug up a Old pc which I don't intend to use with Windows 7, I was wondering if I could Install Snow Leopard on this PC, The Older the better on this PC cuz its Old? (Cause not too keen on anything 10.7+) Anyways Here are some specs and If you could shine on light on it would be nice.. Processor:Intel Celeron 360Socket 775 LGASpec: Intel Celeron D CPU 3.46GHzInstructions: MMX,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,EM64TMotherboard:IntelModel: DQ965GFChipset: Intel Q965Southbridge: Intel 82801H0 (ICH8D0)Ram:2GB DDR2 (4x 512mb Sticks)PC2-5300 (333MHz)GPU:ATI Radeon HD 2400 XTPCI-E x16HDD: 80GB on SATA ^All Info was from CPU-Z - If I get no reply Im just gonna give it a try anyways.

Rogiervd Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I think it can work. The only thing is, you won't get Qe/Ci with that GPU. Maybe you should switch it out with a cheap supported GPU. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290161-old-pc-can-i-hackintosh-it/#findComment-1927968 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 You could even run Mountain Lion on it, but you'll need a patched kernel - even for Snow Leopard, by the way. Buy a G210 because your ATI won't work at all. All the best!

mikenzb Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Would it just be easier to yank the GPU out and trash it and use the onboard integrated GPU? I don't really want to spend money on a new GPU for this old pc which I'm BARELY going to use, Just wanted SL on it so I could just play around with it...

Rogiervd Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 What is the name of the integrated graphics Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/290161-old-pc-can-i-hackintosh-it/#findComment-1928062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
theconnactic Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Is it integrated graphics - that is, integrated with the CPU - or onboard graphics, meaning on the motherboard's chipset? There's hope for the former, but no chances for the latter. Buy a refurbished G210, you'll find it as cheap as $20. All the best!

3.14r2 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Is it integrated graphics - that is, integrated with the CPU - or onboard graphics, meaning on the motherboard's chipset? All the best! AFAIK graphics integrated with CPU is iX series feature. There were only motherboard integrated graphics prior to iX CPUs. According to the specs of DQ965GF, it's GMA 3000, so no go too. You could also replace the CPU to Core 2 Duo and do a retail install.

redneck Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Should run Leo 10.5 .2 . use on board Graphics. If install source boots to install screen then it will probably run checking the correct install options.

JCsHands Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I am probably the poorest Hackintosh users here, but I would really recommend the g210 now and look at getting a Core 2 series CPU later. Vanilla installs are so nice. Most of the time there is very little work to be done to keep your Hackintosh up to date and installing it is so much easier.
