Hi, I have done a bit of research, and I have 3 machines that are either going to be thrown away, or upgraded to use as mild rendering machines for furniture design, and a bit of AR for online retail, (this will be eventually for my business) booting latest windows, and or Mac os, via either a patch, or open core.
Open core is a bit beyond my depths, at the present moment, but have the 4,1 machine running 32gb of ram, (purchased more RAM yesterday) to make it 64gb, as one is not recognised, 4 tb raided HDD, and one 512 pci flash drive. I was going to load the dosdude catalina upgrade, but found that it wouldn't boot, and I cant load it on a partitioned HDD. Anyway I have spent a few days on the machine trying to get work a rounds and was wondering if I should give up the notion that I could actually still use these machines as a server a, 2d assembly machine and a render machine, one of each. please help I really want to learn, and have been using macs since 1988, and dont want to use PCS.
Please be kind
