Hi,
I have this old Desktop laying around (2011 - Z68X-UD3H-B3 Gigabyte / i7 SandyBridge / 16GB / 240 Kingston SSD (3 pcs) / 6870 Gigabyte Radeon, though it's kindof big, and I'd really go for the onboard graphics card, UEFI Bios and a newer Dell U2917W monitor). I mainly use it for Windows 10 and Linux now and then. Figured I could pop in a MacOS on it, just like I did in the old days, when I bought it with 10.8.x, 10.9.x and install LogicProX and have some musical fun... I do have an older Macbook, at hand, but that's been "outsourced" to my daughter, now.
However, i'm busting my brain a bit with the newer Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra that don't seem to install drivers as easily as I used to do it with the MultiBeast 8-9 years ago.
Maybe, if you have a similar build, you could help me out by letting me know:
- what's the latest MacOS I should go for?
- much appreciated if you point me at a guide, and/or some troubleshooting pointers for my particular generation of desktop computer
- are there any special settings I should do to get the video card working at normal monitor res (2560 x 1080) via HDMI or mDP?
- should I have the DSDT def at hand when installing with the multi-beast, or is it implicit for my config?
- also, i'd greatly appreciate if you could point me to a place where i can find info on multi-booting Win10 / MacOS / Ubuntu installed on separate Hard Drives
Thanks for taking the time, guys, and hopefully this doesn't go against any forum policies.
Cheers,
Mihai
