Moderators Jake Lo Posted January 7, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 7, 2016 That will depend solely on the graphics card Whether you could get full graphics support on it and whether it can be replace with a supported card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted January 7, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 7, 2016 From a chipset/CPU point of view, this PC will support all modern Mac OS X / OS X versions from Snow Leopard 10.6 to the latest El Capitan 10.11. As stipulated by JakeLo in the previous post, full compatibility will depend entirely on the discrete/add-on graphics card fitted to this machine. The integrated Intel GMA X4500 bears no support whatsoever in OS X. I've seen that some of those old RM One were fitted with nVidia G210; that's supported Ok. Failing that, there are plenty of cheap entry level cards that should fit in there and that are compatible with OS X. Eg: the cheap and chearful nVidia GT610. You can search the forum (and the Net), plenty of posts on that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Bronxteck Posted January 11, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 11, 2016 that would require knowing more about your specific machine like getting hardware dump and a ACPI dump or a darwindumper app output file. if that machine does not have UEFI capable bios then try with chameleon as the boot loader .
