CPU: Intel Pentium E5300 @ 2.60ghz

GPU: Nvidia Geforce 9500 GT

RAM: 4GB 800mhz DDR2

Chipset: Nvidia NForce 630i (MCP73)

Ethernet Card: Chipset

Guide followed: Dortania's OpenCore Guide

Extra Info: Sleep obivously doesn't work as no power management on Pentium, Speedstep is handled by the CPU-i kext instead. Ethernet is detected and picked up by the nvenet kext, but doesn't actually properly connect to the internet, hence why the USB WiFi dongle had to be used. Also took me days just to figure out why wasn't it loading the AppleNForceATA kext, turns out I was using the wrong versions of the kext, also had to use IDE to get it installed because this machine's BIOS for some reason has SATA set to RAID Mode with no way to disable and RAID on OS X seems to be a no.
