e5200 pentium dual core
4GB DDR2 RAM
GT 730 2GB
dual monitor setup with HDMI audio working
no wifi hardware present, ethernet only
for detailed specs look up the pre-built Compaq CQ3020IL
followed OpenCore tutorial entirely. the only three post-troubleshooting modifications i had to make:
- Added NullCpuPowerManagement.kext
- nv_disable=1 flag in boot-args (then replace with nvda_drv=1 after installing web drivers)
- created a full bootable installer using createinstallmedia in a Mac VM & not a bootable recovery because latter forces icloud login
my least painful Hackintosh experience
unfortunately, had some issues with iCloud account - app store, imessage, and few other apps dont work - but not a problem for me
few apps still support el capitan, but enough to make a complete study PC (I use dropbox, chrome, inbuilt pdf reader, anki, & todoist)
i wish the Numbers app was still supported, i use it often on other devices. if any of you have links to older versions of Numbers, Pages, and Keynote, could you please send it to me? (not app store links)
