Hello everybody! I've recently started learning about operating systems in my university and started dabbling in Linux operating system. Got my hands on my dad's old Acer Aspire X3960 desktop and would like to try installing hacktintosh into it!

I have a early 2015 13" Macbook Pro, and I was wondering if I would be able to install mac Sierra on my old acer desktop

Specs: (according to CPU-Z tool)
Mobo: Acer Aspire X3960
CPU: Intel Core i5-2300 @2.8GHz
Memory: Dual channel 8GB DDR3
GPU: AMD RAdeon HD 7000 series

Any help would be much appreciated!

The system is a Sandy Bridge machine which will work. But for Ethernet and Audio probably better to look in Device Manager in Windows or boot Linux open up terminal and type lspci. The Radeon 7000 Graphics will work but has problems with sleep in 10.10+. For more information on Radeon Graphics take a look at Radeon Compatibility Guide - ATI/AMD Graphics Cards
