Hi
I have a GIGABYTE GA-P55M-UD4 P55, and my graphics card is just as ancient (~6 years) - it's an EVGA 512-P3-N871-AR 9800GTX. I'm finally planning on using the guide to update from a Snow Leopard (!) hackintosh, and I have a few questions re: the El Capitan/Clover guide (apologies for how dumb/n00by they are) :
1. I'm thinking I should use the Clover_v2.3k_r3320-Legacy Configuration package for my P55 board - but the guide also says "Legacy Boot Mode - Root (Clover_v2.3k_r3320_Legacy_Root.pkg) is for older systems that cannot boot from EFI partition." Since my old MB predates EFI by quite a while, is there any chance I should use the root package?
2. Are there any other Clover settings I should be looking at with such old hardware? (in particular, the system - I'm planning to choose Mac Pro 3,1)
3. Is the CustoMac Essentials package compatible such an old board? If I so, again are there any FakeSMC/Ethernet options I should be looking at?
Thanks for helping an idiot like me out - it's good karma.
