maurvir posted:The reason for not going to Mojave is that I thought support had been pulled from these older systems. This is an i3-2100 with 16GB of RAM. I don't use the IGP, though - I use a separate AMD 5770. I have an R7-250X, but any sort of video causes framebuffer corruption on the latter card. The only saving grace is that it doesn't have to do a lot of intense processing - it's mostly used for streaming video and batch processing where "overnight" is fine.
Otherwise, it's an Asrock Z75 Pro3 motherboard with all the usual goodies. I even got the built-in audio working in Sierra, in addition to HDMI audio.

I have the latest version of Windows 10 Home on my hackintosh; and I use Windows10 regularly on shows for powerpoint; so I think I am entitled to my bias. I just do not like the way Windows 10 "feels."
If I make another hackintosh with more modern kit, then I'll be putting Win10 Pro on it, since Home is limited on memory allocation. In fact I will be getting Windows 10 Pro working on it before even attempting the hackintosh part.
But alas, I am still on the fence. I have done some of my own benchmarking and have concluded that there is really no performance difference between Adobe software running on Windows vs. MacOS on the exact same hardware (at least my hardware).
