Hi there.

That hardware is very old and generally unsupported by OS X and macOS, but we do have a basic guide:

Pentium/Celeron Open Core desktop Guide

Open Core Pentium/Celeron Guide. Catalina Preface This guide is based on the Kernel patch and Emulate functions of Open Core Bootloader. Thanks to the work of PMHeart we have the needed Emulate settings and thanks to vit9696 we have the Kernel Patches needed to use Pentium and Celeron systems...

If you have some technical knowledge and enjoy a challenge you might try having a go.

You will need to download an older version of OS X, but remember the first version that featured the App Store was Snow Leopard.

Let us know how you get on.

can i install sierra snow leopard very old

Very doubtful.

That was the point I was making. The hardware you want to use is unsupported and very old. Your motherboard is a 2008 model. Back then OS X Tiger was current.

There are newer versions available direct from Apple, from Lion onwards. As I said, if you want to experiment that's great, but there is no ready-made solution.

Thanks for your reply. I couldn't find a suitable EFI setup for Sierra.

P E5300 lacks SSE4.1 support. The highest you can install is El Capitan.

Can you give me efi files ?

I am the one to pour some cold water here.

Dear OP, did you hear what you have been told here?

Let me stress again : Your computer hardware is TOO OLD, and is NOT supported (the Pentium CPU in particular since Apple never used them even in Intel Macs).

If you really want to run MacOS, then unless you really enjoy a challenge, you should really get some supported hardware to install MacOS. Even if you somehow get it to install it won't run well.
