Thanks, great, complete answer! 
 
Too bad I can't turn the machine into some awesome playground to play with Mac OS. I'll just have to give it a shot on my main working machine, a Skylake of which I am sure will support it
 
Is Lion still usable? I would love to try xcode, but I probably won't work on Lion?

Hello guys,

 

I try to install El Capitan (yes I know Sierra's been released already) on my Dell XPS M1210. 

The machine rocks: 

- a Core2duo T5500

- 1GB of RAM (yet to be upgraded to 4GB)
- Intel 945GM graphics (good ol' Intel GMA)

- a 120GB SSD

 

I tried this guide, because I figured the D630 and the M1210 are somewhat similar under the hood(?):

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/8645-dell-latitude-d630-with-core2duo-and-nvidia-quadro-nvs-135m-el-capitansierra/

This way it hangs at "[begin PCI configuration]" (or didn't I just wait long enough?)

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Regards,

 

Rick
