The Atom debate in Hackintosh forums

It seems there is a debate on the support for  Atom processors in the Hackintosh forums,


A guy named Mach VoluM says there is Atom  CPU support  in the 10.6.2 updated kernel,
He says he is running 10.6.2 in his Atom based machine.
He posted his kernel information in insanelywind forum,

Where as stell's blog says that this guy is faking up with  10.6.0 kernel. stell's blog has a pic showing the proof with the kernel date.
He has put a kernel version pic of his friend running 10.6.0 kernel.

He has also posted a pic of a 10.6.2 kernel from a core2duo System.

Well the only way to make sure is inputs from various intel Atom based Hackintosher's. So flood your comments guyz.
