# Legacy Intel
# Sandy Bridge 2XXX
# Highest Supported OS: High Sierra (10.13.6)
# Initial Supported OS: Snow Leopard (10.6)
Unfortunately, Mojave dropped support for these iGPUs, but luckily we can actually get these iGPUs working by using old kexts (though no Metal support so things are a bit iffy). The OpenCore Legacy Patcher (opens new window) is the best way to add support for these GPUs. However, OCLP is geared towards real Macs and while it will work on Hackintoshes, there is no official support. Initial support was introduced with macOS 10.6 and is not supported by the Intel framebuffer patching guide (opens new window)
Supported iGPUs:
- HD 2000 (Can only be used for Quick Sync tasks, no full acceleration)
- HD 3000
- HD P3000

- AAPL,snb-platform-id (laptop):
- 0x00010000 (default)
- 00000100 (hex swapped)
