Lion on Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2609 + Gigabyte X99-SLI?

[Coquin]

Hi

Would it be possible to install Lion on Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2609 + Gigabyte X99-SLI? I understand that I would have to use the Chimera boot loader; I already have Sierra installed with Clover ont that computer. Could both boot loaders co-exist on the same computer. My question may not make any sense but I am asking it anyway because I would like to be able to use again the Final Cut Studio Suite that cost me a fortune at the time and that has become obsolete.

Thanks

No. The Kernel has no support for Haswel E.

How about a LGA-2011 motherboard and Sandy Bridge processor?

Sandy Bridge CPU requires 6 series or 7 lga 1155 series board.

I thought that an older generation of Xeon processors was Sandy Bridge type. Thanks for informing me. If I used a Sandy Bridge processor with a LGA 1155 board, would I be able to install Lion with Chimera? Would I also be able to install Sierra with Clover on the same computer and choose either operation system at startup?

Thanks
