Motherboard and OS compatibility question.

[bigpoppa206]

I have a working hackintosh, no issues. But its old enough I can't use Mojave on it. I also have older drives that can boot up into Lion (Pro Tools) and Mavericks. What is the newest motherboard that I could get and still use these older systems? Or how can I research this? Thanks.

For Lion 10.7.5, the latest hardware it can support is Ivy Bridge (Intel 7 series motherboard and 3rd generation Core CPUs).

For Mavericks 10.9.5, the latest hardware it can support is Haswell (Intel 8 or 9 series motherboard and 4th generation Core CPUs).

The Ivy Bridge sounds interesting. Any recommendations for specific motherboards? I lean towards Gigabyte and ASUS.

No, iOS is for mobile devices like iPads and iPhones.
