i3 4130 Compatibility?

[Lurfrig]

I was wondering has anyone tried the i3 4130? Does it work with 10.9.2 Mavericks or will I have to get a low end i5? Its not on the compatible list where the other i3's are, and I was just wondering if someone has actually managed to get it working.

We are currently testing the HD4400 graphics that this processor has - we hope to have proper working support available for this desktop i3-4130 available real soon.

Otherwise consider the HD4600 equipped i3-4330 or i3-4340 as options if you do not wish to spend as much as an i5-4330.

Desktop HD4400 graphics has proven to be a challenge that we still cannot get working . If you still have to purchase your CPU then I recommend either a suitable i3 or an upgrade to i5.
