Nothing much to do, so took an old Dell Precision T5500 with L5609 processor (nice low power), 12Gb RAM, Zotac GT 640 Zone edition 2048MB (from fleebay for £20), 120Gb SSD, latest A18 BIOS
Created MBR USB install with Doddude1 Catalina patcher (as it downloaded 10.15.4 install without Appstore), used attached EFI to boot, installed to GPT APFS formatted SSD
It needs USB to boot with
latest clover r5111, but T5500 has one
internal USB port that can be nicely used for it
Kepler
nVidia GT 640 is natively metal supported, so no issues there.
While Geekbench only gives this unit scores: CPU 1279 (
just above Mac Mini 2011) and Metal 1886, way less than
it should be because Histogram Equalization was nil 0 zero)
But in the end all works inc network, audio, sleep
Current FakeSMC3 & HWMonitorSMC2 work nicely, the old Rehab ones would stop Ethernet & audio working
