GA-P35-DS3 + Xeon E5450 + ATI HD5770 = Not too old for Sierra?

[FrenchieiSverige]

Hello

I tried to build an hackintosh with some pieces coming from differents PCs, and that's the hardware I've selected which seems to be the most compatible:

• GA-P35-DS3 (LGA775)
• Xeon E5450
  
• 4GB DDR2
  
• ATI 5770
• SSD 120 GB

Unfortunately, it seems that my motherboard misses a L at the end (There are plenty of guides for the GA-P35-DS3L). The most important thing I guess is the sound chipset (ALC889A) and the ethernet card (Realtek 8111B chip).

Do you thing it is still capable of running macOS Sierra ?

Thanks for your help.

4gb ram may not be enough, 8gb would be better

Thanks, I take note of this recommendation. Regarding the hardware, everything is fine? Everything compatible?

I can confirm AMD HD 5770 working fine in 10.12.5 on a Z97 build.


EDIT_ It does work fine, but I did experience some odd GPU colour behaviour, there is a solution, here is my post on a related thread:
