Hi there,
Yes, the older hardware is possibly causing a problem. The nearest real Apple system to yours is a 2009 iMac (E8600 etc). However I think it used either Nvidia 9400M or ATI Radeon HD4670 for graphics.
You could experiment with different system-definitions. The iMac14,2 is usually a great choice. The 2009 iMac was iMac10,1 I believe. I have no idea if this would help, but it might be worth trying? (Remember to turn-off wi-fi while experimenting to avoid the new serial numbers getting sent to Apple. It might cause ID problems. If you get a system working you can "re-use" your original serial number etc...)
Good luck
Dear UtterDisbelief,
Thanks a lot once again. I will try and let you know.
Best regards.
