Hello all!
I have an old computer that has a Core 2 Duo E8400 @ 3.00 GHz, with 5 GB of RAM. I've recently began experimenting with installing a few OSes on it, and it seems to be working fine with most of them. My recent goal however, is to install a (older? I guess.) version of Macintosh on it. I was looking for some advice on what should I be looking for. I'm sorry if I appear of be unaware but that's mostly because I have little technical experience with Macintoshes. I have a Macbook running with Sierra on it, and it's mostly not me using it. My main question is, how would I do something like this? (I've Googled, and the information seems really sparse, and shady!) I would also like to know which Macintosh version would be suitable for my configuration.
Thanks a lot. I've attached the output of lspci, since I guess it would be a good way for people to determine if my hardware is supported by the Mach kernel.
The interesting bits are the graphics card, which is an integrated G43/45, the sound card is which Intel HD Audio, and the ethernet adaptor which is from Realtek.
