Soo let's say I wanted a "historical" Hackintosh with as many versions of Mac OS X and macOS installed as possible...

If I wanted to build a single machine (CPU, chipset, one GPU) with one or more HDDs/SSDs and add-in cards as needed to accommodate different standards, protocols, partition tables and formats, and an OpenCore UEFI installation, what GPU/CPU/chipset combo would allow me to build the most (relatively) powerful machine that can go the from the farthest back possible, up to Monterey, and have every major release of macOS in between installed, bootable and with functional Apple/iCloud services? (where applicable, of course)

I just saw a guy on YouTube who got every version from Lion to Monterey on an OpenCore system with the following specs: ECS H61M, i3-3220, HD7770. This is really incredible stuff. Would it be possible to build a more powerful system that can go as far back, or a system that can run even earlier versions while still supporting Monterey?

Bonus if it can also run versions of Windows and Ubuntu contemporary to those macOS releases. A museum of modern operating systems, one might call it.
