One of those is, “Stay with Leopard 10.5.8 (10.5.9 might have the same effect as 10.6.2),” the blog’s author says. The report also includes options (alternatives) for those enjoying the benefits of using a hacked computer with Mac OS X installed. One of the effects of this is Apple killing off Intel’s Atom chip.” Mac OS X 10.6.2 Build 10C531 was seeded to developers last week and they were asked to continue to focus on graphics drivers, as well as on TrackPad preferences and the ability to create virtual machines. The original report confirming the “death” of Atom in 10.6.2 stems from Stell’s Blog, which writes that, “In the current developer build of 10.6.2, Apple appears to have changed around a lot of CPU related information. Similarly, Mac OS X 10.5.9 (whenever it’s out) may also include the road block. Reported as highly important news for Hackintosh users who have hacked Atom-based netbooks to run Snow Leopard, a blogger says Mac OS X 10.6.1 is as far as Hackintoshes can go for now – Mac OS X 10.6.2 (currently in development) is dubbed as a “killer” of Atom support for hacked Mac OS X users. Mac OS X running on this architecture can only be what is known as a “Hackintosh” (a non-Apple computer running Mac OS X by means of hacks), as Apple hardware doesn’t include the Atom processor, be it the notebooks, or the desktop Macs. Reports have confirmed that, although the Mac OS X 10.6.2 update isn’t out yet for Snow Leopard, it does kill support for the Intel Atom processor.
